About

The story is based on V. Ulea's poem LONELINESS in which she explores the basic cause for people's isolation and alienation from each other. The film is dedicated to the theme of loneliness that becomes the universal estrangement of those who are prisoners of their self-centered nature.

Once in a while, everyone experiences the feeling of loneliness, but the main question remains how to deal with it. Does loneliness come from within or is it a product of society? The film attempts to answer these questions, referring to the inner state of the characters, who, though have a lot in common, are, nevertheless, completely indifferent to each other. They live in their imaginary world, building their imaginary relationship, which eventually destroy them, becoming their nightmare.
