director's note

This triptych is conceived in a way that stories feed off of each other, the impact of one main character complimenting the other two. Character studies explore social issues of a particular environment, while preserving the main idea - in each story, an actor pursues the quest their emotions demand. A complete identification of an actor with their character can be quite ambivalent - could the transformation of a performance into real life become an ultimate form of acting?
