My heroine Nyura is a very strange person living in a world of her own. It is interesting to observe the very fine line of normality, adequacy and complete not understanding of what is happening around. Her actions may come across as those of a madman, but for Nyura they are absolutely logical. Remember the proverb ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions? — this is exactly the case… I'm really interested in this picture. It’s rare to come across such a script, where everything from start to finish creates the atmosphere of a thriller. Usually, the script slides into a melodrama, or even a comedy. I like that my heroine’s story line supports the film’s thriller genre and does not let it transform into anything different.

This film is about good relationships with loved ones breaking down. About how scary it is to loose trust in someone, to start suspecting him of treachery. First doubts appear, these give rise to fears which then start eating you up from inside, and crazy things begin happening with people. I think it’s a very lifelike story. If we take a hidden camera and film someone whose life is poisoned by mistrust and suspicion, and then show him how he has changed over the years, I think many people simply be terrified.
