The film has as its theme the clash between dreamy reality
and the real, stark reality. A distorted character like Samantha’s attempts to come out of her shell,
but banging her head on the wall of reality, she returns to
her darkness.
It is not wrong to feed on dreams, it is harmful to abuse them until the dreams themselves swallow you and your vision
of reality. Growing up is also this, not turning back, not hiding in your dream city
after a failure. Samantha failed to grow up; she will become even smaller than she already was.
The idea came from a simple image, an album cover depicting a girl with long red hair interacting with a kind of automaton (Queen of Golden Dogs – Vessel), hence the idea of the relationship between Samantha and her doll.
The interest in telling “The First Love,” which, regardless of how it
will turn out, will mark a turning point in our lives.
There were many inspirations, even unintentional ones, from different kinds of art forms: movies, paintings, video games, books, music, etc..
