Director Statement

What if longing for love destroys your comfort zone?  Would you choose love over security? This is the core of my film. Then I read Julia Kristeva's Powers of Horror. I realized nothing is repulsive in its essence. It becomes repulsive when it refuses to be categorized and defies the rules of a certain symbolic order.  Hence, the idea of including cockroaches. Following that key image, nuclear holocaust and genetic mutations are reasonable.  Only when you give up control can a story be complete.
