An elderly woman meets a loved one at a cafe, where he offers her a chance to reclaim lost time and rediscover a life she once cherished—if she dares to embrace a second beginning.
Director’s Comment: Way back in university, I saw an exhibition done by medical students exploring the possibilities of reverse-aging. I’ve also had insightful conversations with friends and family about whether they’d take a second chance at youth, revealing mixed feelings: some felt life should be lived once, while others liked the idea of trying things they never had the chance to. Basically, I simply wanted to explore what happens when we tamper with the natural course of life—how it impacts relationships, identity, culture, and our sense of self-worth.
As a film director, I'm drawn to storytelling, no matter how mundane. But which filmmaker isn’t passionate? As a new filmmaker, I just want to tell the stories that have lived in my daydreams and hope they’re worth your time, your taste, and your hunger for something fulfilling. If they end up shaping your worldview or blowing your mind, I’ll take that as a bonus. At the core of it, it’s really about learning to tell a story in your own way before the pizza arrives. Right?
