Director's word
"Our concept was to make the viewer feel, from the very first moment, that this story would transcend reality, musically speaking, unlike traditional realist films. The musical structure gradually hints at the mystery, creating a sense of unease and curiosity, reflecting what’s happening in the protagonist’s mind and soul. The main motif pulses and retreats, blending with sharp, metallic sounds, referencing an old camera's mechanism - a key element in the story. Music acts as an additional character, guiding us through this unique investigation."
