Director's word

"Although we had very little time for post-production and faced significant challenges with sound design, Andor's music instantly resonated with the scenes, helping to transform the plot into emotions. Music plays a crucial role in films, but it is even more vital in arthouse horror. In this film, it was a complex task to strike the right balance in a story that deliberately subverts genre expectations."
