Directors Statement

I investigate the social gender reality: what being a man really means. Our world of toxic masculinity kills the men's souls and destroys their lives, and there is not the only one right way of being a man. This is the problem of society, and the only way out is to mature and become a role model for yourself, not only as a man, but as a HUMAN.
