Director's Statement
I want the audience to intrude into a couple's most difficult moments together — the darkest hours, those memories they will never share with anyone again. We have the sad privilege of seeing them at their worst.
I wrote this to admire a side of humanity we tend to avoid. An aspect of the human experience we all partake in, but none of us are proud of. Where do I go from here? Is there a way to turn back time? How did we get here in the first place?
I want us to admire them, not judge, from within the eye of the storm. Lost and crestfallen, our protagonists have nothing else to lose. They are at their purest.
Iskra and Yasen find themselves saying the unspeakable. They unbottle their darkest thoughts and, in the blink of an eye, anger takes over. They hurt each other beyond repair — all that's left to do is walk away.
One slip up is all it took. Now they don't speak. Instead, they move about their holiday house — the same place that holds some of their best memories together, now become the grounds where they bury their relationship.
We do not see them speak to each other ever again. We simply witness their last moments together before they surely part ways for good.
Visual Reference
Location
Valle Falconera is a private island accessible only by boat — surrounded by water, reeds, and silence. The sense of isolation it provides mirrors the contradiction in the characters' inner world.
Nature and the house. The two broken characters spending the last hours of their relationship in what used to be a sanctuary for their love.
