LOGLINE
Jora’s perfect relationship with his original self becomes the worst prison imaginable.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
We have all feared that we might not survive another heartbreak, and wondered whether love would be safer if we could only be with someone exactly like us. This story pushes that idea to its extreme: what if we could create our ideal partner—literally ourselves—and even marry them? Would that be a utopia free of conflict, or the loneliest, most toxic relationship imaginable? And if a third version of the self entered the equation, would we become jealous of ourselves?
The film approaches these questions through an intimate, high-concept premise grounded in emotional realism rather than science fiction. It avoids technological explanations, futurism, or spectacle, focusing instead on a closed microcosm where genre elements—darkness, absurdism, subtle comedy, and raw drama—coexist. The story unfolds at a medium-slow pace, leaving room for tenderness and unease, and keeping the relationship itself as the sole emotional engine.
Note of Intent:
The world I build exists outside fixed notions of race, gender, sexuality, or status. The characters are mixed-race, multilingual, and fluid in identity, allowing the film to focus on human contradictions rather than labels—on power, love, insecurity, fear, and emotional wounds, without clear heroes or villains. At its core, the film explores the invisible prisons we build and accept for ourselves, and how love can become one of the most suffocating of them when it turns toxic.
On a personal level, this project is also an act of rupture: my first fiction film as a director, in which I perform three leading roles, including a sex doll, despite having never acted before. It is an attempt to break my own fear-based limitations, to fully embrace experimentation, and to embody—literally—a story about self-creation, self-desire, and self-destruction.
