9. DIRECTORS STATEMENT
Ultimately this is a short about the cycle abuse victims go
through, revealing how hard it is to break free. We want to
highlight the fact that the issue is not something fictional, but
is still a very real and troubling problem in the 21st century.

10. Elle is an example of a victim, one which mentally
cannot escape her father who himself is
experiencing his own traumas, and inflicting those
on his daughter.
