FILMMAKER’S STATEMENT
Our world faces different challenges and made our life more difficult as if we are living in a cycle of nightmare – wars, calamities, poverty, hunger, pandemic, etc.
Because of this, humanity tends to disconnect from society.
We are all playing in this game of life. We are just on different kinds of levels. Living the same hell, just different devils. The good thing is: we can pause, take a rest, and relive the precious memories in our lives. And to win, we just continue to hope and dream… because the moment we stop, it is the moment we die.
LOGLINE: An employee overslept and must wake-up from a nightmare.
