Director's statement
Through this animation, I tried to explore the fear and thoughts that come to me whenever I spend some time with my grandma. After taking a moment to think about our relationship, I enjoyed organizing my thoughts around these ideas to make a short film. This process may not necessarily lead me to any answers and even take me somewhere I don’t want to be. But still, it is a constructive and innovative process.
