"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"It’s a metaphorical struggle, a girl in this nice dress being followed by the storm. And the storm is following her, even inside the house. So there’s a moment of disturbance in this seemingly perfect setting of a young girl growing up in this very nice home. The loop is inherent to the story. It indicates a kind of self-centeredness. It’s the character’s state of being."
