Life is a book that has endless chapters. One chapter ends, and another one begins. We, the author and the main character of our own book, decide what our next chapter will look like. Sometimes, It’s difficult to turn the page and see what happens next. Sometimes, we are stuck in a loop of memories of our past. Instead of creating a new chapter, we re-read our old ones.

Lately, re-reading old chapters has become my daily routine. Whether it is happy memories or sad memories, both make me upset. Happy memories because I cannot re-live that moment again and sad memories well because I was hurt. Nostalgia makes us human.

Initially, I filmed this in the Summer of 2021. I kept wanting to edit the short film for a while yet I was always missing something. Inspiration. More than 6 months later, I finally could come back to it. One of the things I learned in the past year is that it’s okay to take it slow. It’s okay to create for a while. It’s okay to be upset. This short film is slightly different from my previous ones. I did not write the VoiceOver. I wanted to give someone else the voice to tell my story. This someone is Alina Kliuchnikoff.
