DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
This film delves into the realm of absurdity, exploring the intricacies of desire and vanity. In a world where many are uncertain of their true desires, they often project their longing onto tangible objects, epitomized by "the treasure box." However, the essence of this treasure holds little significance on its own; its value lies in the meaning attributed to it by individuals.
Drawing inspiration from Film Noir and the enigmatic allure of the Femme Fatale archetype, I crafted a scene featuring a captivating yet mysterious woman and her fervent pursuer. Through absurd dialogue laced with comedic elements, the film reveals the absurdity of human desire and the whimsical nature of our pursuits.
