A Perfect Love Story where nothing goes wrong or does it..? (2021) Movie Script
1
-What's up? Oops.
-Where were you?
I'm carrying all this stuff around.
I was at the meeting.
-Catastrophe.
-And?
-He read it?
-Apparently.
You should have heard his questions.
Basic.
He does not name the real problem.
The problem is me being young female
with a script wanting something to say.
How dare I? Horror!
You know what, I'm so angry because
it's understandable that
someone doesn't like my script,
I'm not saying it's brilliant.
But that man is not familiar
with narrative theory.
Horror!
He said I'm making a feminine film.
-Feminine film.
-Feminine?
So chauvinistic! What is a feminine film?
Horror! How to move out of it?
Well, I thought it is a feminine film.
What? Of course when you haven't read
the script. And what does it mean?
-It could be...
-Tell me, what does it mean?
Easy. Well, one...
-What?
-Beautiful, love story, sentimental...
This entrenched construct of
narrative and ingrained gender roles
of what kind of film
a woman is supposed to make.
There is so much more to it.
A wider context.
Human relationships are much more than
that. And you know why I'm annoyed...
You should brand yourself
as a feminine director.
I'm not sure...
I brought figs.
You know what hurts the most...
Do you want them to give you money or not?
-What? And lose my dignity?
-Want their money?
-No, no, no...
-To beg for money? So, what then?
You have to play the game.
We misunderstand each other.
No, no... Apparently, there are only
two types of women you men understand.
The loud fighter one
or the submissive one.
I want you to talk to me as a human being.
And I feel for every woman out there
trying to do something noteworthy.
-There are many.
-Where are they?
There are plenty of successful ones.
In these quotas where they
set one woman in every hundred?
Is that what you mean? Where are they?
-I don't know about quotas but there's...
-Example?
Surely, I know more of women than of men.
If I asked you to count a few,
you wouldn't be able to.
No, let's not count anyone.
How's your stream?
Not bad. Why?
What? What's with you?
I'm worried.
I don't know, will everything go smoothly?
It's gonna go great.
There won't be any problems. Okay?
What about the crew? Will Ado deliver?
Ado is your cousin.
He will deliver. And I will be there.
Yes. Promise?
Trust me.
-Over.
-There?
How was it?
-Don't ask.
-The other day?
I was sliding down...
high on life...
when I...
-High on sevdah.
-Yeah. Sevdah.
-There it was, waiting for me. A tree.
-Downhill.
-Did you glue yourself into it?
-Glue myself?
I hugged it. I connected with nature.
Are you coming tonight?
Nah. I don't feel like it.
Who would wanna stand there,
dressed up and all?
You know me.
Hard to handle.
Trust me, there are no
mountains like this in France.
We should listen to the silence.
You are listening to Radio Dariva.
Night program of the third program.
We have been reading from the diary.
Fragments from Diario Minimo '63
by Umberto Eco.
Coming up next
is Carlotta Ferrari's piano version
of the aria "Nessun Dorma"
from one of the most famous operas,
Turrandot by Giacomo Puccini.
Again.
Oops.
"Nessun Dorma" or "None shall sleep"
is an aria from the final act of the opera
performed by the Nameless Prince.
By falling in love at the first sight
with a cold and cruel Princess Turrandot
the Prince must solve three riddles
in order to marry her.
-My pretty little sister.
-Hey.
I'm working on it.
It could be done in two days.
They say it looks great.
-Jeep?
-Drying up. Slowly.
-Why?
-What do I know? It's cold.
-It will dry. Inshallah.
-Did you talk to Lepi?
Yes. We should all meet.
What about uniforms?
Uniforms have been ready for a while now.
You stick to your part.
Okay, lil' sis, don't get mad.
I have a lot on my mind.
-How is auntie?
-You know her. Killing me.
-Asking me about you.
-Okay.
-Call her.
-I will. Tell her I'll stop by.
-Bye, lil' sis. Gotta run.
-Kiss you, bro. Ciao.
Was that Ado on the phone?
Yes.
And what did he say? Everything ready?
Are you hungry?
No.
Not hungry?
No.
Well, I am.
-Calm down.
-Should I tell Mom?
No, no, no. Don't drag her into this.
You know what she's like.
If he doesn't pay them back
they'll break Sake's legs.
They called in the middle of the night,
pounded, they scared my child.
We'll sort it out.
No legs will get broken.
We'll figure it out.
But keep Mom out of it.
-Good day.
-Good day.
Lil' one hasn't been going to school.
Your sister doesn't want to talk to me.
I understand, Mom, but she doesn't need
you to make it harder with questions.
Let them be. It will sort itself out.
What will sort itself out?
What needs to be sorted? What is going on?
No one is telling me anything.
That's their business.
We shouldn't interfere.
Then what should we do?
How can we help them?
You'll help by
taking care of the little one.
Don't ask her anything. Let her be.
Alright, alright...
And when are you coming to see us?
-Tomorrow.
-When tomorrow?
Probably afternoon.
When I'm done with obligations.
It's ready.
I can't hear you.
The Secretary General will visit Sarajevo
today and attend dinner hosted by
the chairman of the twelve-membered
presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
You heard me?
On the morning of Thursday December 2nd,
the General Secretary will attend the
ceremony in the Peacekeeping Force's camp,
thus marking the end of operation "Up"
and the beginning of operation "Down"
as well as the establishment of the new
Peacekeeping Force's
mission base in Sarajevo.
The twelve-membered presidency
of Bosnia and Herzegovina
met with the commanding officer
of the new Peacekeeping Force.
In her statement, Marshal underlined that
the new Peacekeeping Force
will continue to support local goverment
in their fight against
organized crime and terrorism
and their efforts in fulfilling
the conditions for joining the...
Maybe it's a bit early to get high.
Better eat something.
I'm nervous, my love.
I wonder how you can be so calm.
Yes?
You alive?
All good. How is your woman standing you?
Air pollution in the capital city of
Bosnia and Herzegovina
is breaking records
for the second day in a row.
Carbon monoxide pollution
is five times higher than allowed.
The two main pollutants are traffic
and households using solid fuel.
Experts are advocating that the problem
be systematically resolved,
while the Public Health Institute
is advising citizens
to avoid being outside
for long periods of time.
You've been listening to
the AAAlarming show on Radio Dariva.
I bet on it.
Let's go, honey.
Good morning and welcome.
You are listening to
the morning show on Radio Dariva.
There's fog and smog outside today.
Our resident meteorologist
says the air is poisonous.
The Public Health Institute
advises not to go outside at all.
And we advise you
to stay by your Radio Dariva.
We'll play music for you next,
followed by our live studio program.
Five unidentified gunmen
dressed in peacekeeping uniforms
stole over two million convertible marks
from the armored vehicle of the bank.
The robbery took place a few hours
before mission takeover
from the old Peacekeeping Force
to the new Peacekeeping Force.
Let's hear the police statement.
Masked perpetrators stopped
the money-transferring vehicle
and committed the criminal offense
of robbery
in which 2.47 million
convertible marks was taken
No one was hurt during the robbery.
The investigation continues,
as the perpetrators are yet to be found.
The Peacekeeping Force
denies any involvement in the robbery.
...303,350...
...303,450...
...303,000...
Love, I can't concentrate...
Now I forgot where I was.
-...303,350...
-A lot.
-A lot.
-...500...
-Where are we going now?
-Just drive. I'll tell you when to turn.
...500...
This is just paper.
But this pile of paper makes me
calm and hysterical at the same time.
Deep, my love. It's only money.
Beautiful...
I could...
-You could what?
-So what are you going to do with it?
-With what?
-With money, love?
With money, yeah...
You know, the question is not
what will I do with money.
It's what we will do with it.
Well, you know I want an apartment
in Paris where I will write.
That's not enough
for an apartment in Paris.
On the contrary,
it can cover...
-Sailing boat?
-Yes, sailing boat.
But Paris, my love!
Where are we going?
Just drive. I'm taking you to
my favorite place in Herzegovina.
But I know Herzegovina,
I've been to Herzegovina.
What you saw and with whom you saw it
does not interest me.
I'm hungry.
Then you should turn.
-Here?
-Yes.
FREEDOM TO THE RIVERS!
Tires, love!
I can't hear you, my love!
Tires, love!
Let's go! Action!
Come on! Tires! My love.
Come on! Don't be like that.
Alright.
That's good.
Why are you looking at me?
What exactly are you doing?
I wanna throw these.
But why?
You drive.
Open the door.
Good afternoon.
Passports.
And driver's license.
We are interrupting the music
for an important update.
Police have discovered the burned jeep
believed to be used
in one of the most spectacular robberies
in our country.
A reminder, the robbery was conducted
by unidentified armed men in
Peacekeeping Force uniforms last December
during the handover of the Peace mission
to the new Peacekeeping Force.
This story has been published
by all main news agencies worldwide.
Police are on the lookout
for the perpetrators.
Well preserved.
Little giant.
Women love it.
Good bye.
Anything to declare?
Go! Go! Beat it!
What a car, huh?
-What a babe.
-Like new.
Fuck me.
And then they decided
to redirect the attack.
They demolished all the bridges of river
Neretva and built one during the night.
-During one night?
-Yes.
Who told you this story? In one night?
It's written in all the history books.
They even made a film about it.
Yes, of course... A film made by
the regime. A story made by the regime.
Please stop with that western propaganda.
It has nothing to do with that.
It's pure logic.
Listen, they had to transport the wounded.
The Germans thought the whole time
that the Partisans withdrew.
That's how they pulled it off.
It sounds like...
Like the best strategic war story
you've ever heard of.
Yes, exactly. A good story.
Fiction.
Why do you have to spoil everything
with your pragmatism and logic?
Okay. Sorry.
-Tell me your story.
-No. You totally ruined it.
I promise I won't talk anymore.
I'm listening. Please.
Listen. I'll shut up.
I promise I won't interrupt you anymore.
Finish the story please.
Grandpa used to tell it to me
when I was a little girl.
I thought it was the best story ever.
Well, yes. Good. It is a great story.
You should be proud of it. Yes.
Shh! Now I'm also wondering
how they managed to do it in one night.
You smell so good. I could eat you.
I thought I already did.
You should never stop.
-What took you so long?
-We went off-road.
-Hello, you good?
-Good.
-Good.
-Well.
-We were expecting you yesterday.
-How are you?
-What's this?
-Well...
-What do you want to drink?
-Water.
-Fire water?
-Is there any other?
You, mate?
Yes. Sure.
How are you?
How are you handling this heat here?
I don't know. It's okay, more or less.
So many tourists. It's insane.
We got stuck in traffic.
-Sant.
-Sant.
Brought you something.
You robbed the bank?
Something like that.
It's a good deed to rob a bank.
My love.
To healthy children.
To love.
To happiness.
Mostar is a really warm and pleasant town,
something like a womb.
And you know what a womb feels like?
The memory is foggy, but it's still there.
And what do you say, my dear?
For now it's alright, but ask me again
in a couple of months, I guess.
How long are you staying here?
One night.
Or at least that's what I thought.
Never mind. Let's say
you're staying here for two weeks.
And you're coming from some extremely
capitalistic consumeristic place.
Buy, die... Where to go, what to do?
Here, after a while you start to notice
this pressure slowly disappearing.
Everything is at ease and relaxed.
and you find yourself in this state of
mind which in Mostar they call mazloom.
-What is mazloom?
-Mazloom.
-What's that?
-Mazloom. Mazloom.
Mazloom is a state of mind freed from
any pressure of today's society.
It's a very interesting word.
In Arabic it means...
"sufferer."
And maybe in Hindi, I don't know.
In our language it translates more to
that Italian phrase, dolce far niente.
I'm sorry, darling,
but I have to steal her away now.
Dolce... Dolce niente...
And people can't... Sweet idleness...
Today people can't afford it.
First job, second job, third job...
Pay the bills!
Worrying how you'll manage...
Want some beer?
Which nowadays is a real luxury...
How are you, darling?
What are you working on at the moment?
I'm traveling towards the sea.
Getting to know my motherland.
-And?
-And I'm surprised how beautiful it is.
Yeah? You weren't aware before?
Well... Living in small
and claustrophobic Sarajevo
I often let myself be
judgmental and apathetic.
You seem a bit tired, no?
I know... I sound awful.
I'm waiting for mazloom to kick in.
I even tried to translate mazloom
into Japanese...
Actually I want
to make a film in Herzegovina.
A magnificent love story that...
ends tragically.
So in Japanese
it would sound something like...
-No rest until...
-Hold that thought.
...revival.
What about you? How do you feel?
Are you ready?
No, no.
Not at all.
But...
ia is here. He calms me down.
He's very excited for us.
I think everything is going to be okay.
So powerful!
Yeah. It's nice.
Let's stay here forever.
And do what?
Grow trees?
We'll make babies.
And found a tribe.
We'll name it...
The Tribe of the Rising Sun.
-Why are you like that?
-What?
Why do you spoil everything?
Yes?
You really ruin every moment.
That is unbelievable.
Do you have something to tell me?
Nothing.
I know you, I can tell
when you have something to say to me.
-I knew it.
-You knew what?
I knew something was wrong.
Everything is fine.
Yeah, sure.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Everything is fine. All is perfect.
Can you please...
-What am I doing?
-Put your feet down.
Why?
Because you'll break something.
Of course I won't.
Can you please put your feet down. Please.
-But why?
-Because you'll break it, God.
Why do I have to explain everything?
I'm not the only one who thinks like this.
No!
Are you listening to what I'm saying?
Impossible.
You are driving me insane...
Big time.
To the moon and back.
Long distances.
You're only sixteen
And you want to go to disco
And you want to be kissed
Traffic and driver's...
license.
Do we know why you're being stopped?
No.
You were driving too fast.
No, no, no, no. No, no. No.
Yes, yes.
You... drive... too fast.
Yes, I understand. No, no.
Fifty.
What 50? You drove too fast.
Nah. No.
50. Fifty.
What 50? Yes.
50 is too fast. Limit here is 20.
You drove 50. Limit 20.
Get out from the car! Let's go!
Road. Off-country road.
-What road? What?
-Usual speed limit.
You drove too fast.
Come over here! Look!
Do you see that piece of land?
There is a slope.
High grass. I put a sign there
20 limit sign. Me the law.
My land. My road.
-Law?
-Yeah. Law.
No problem.
Bravo!
Where is this thing now? Just a second.
Here it is.
Regulation book. Law.
-Wait. One minute, one second.
-Wait, wait, wait.
-Speed limit.
-Wait.
-Let's check. It's not complicated.
-Let's not get over excited.
-You didn't know this one, yeah?
-Wait.
-Well, how are you?
-With pleasure to you too.
We don't need no book. I was just
showing you the sign. To be careful.
If this is vacation,
I'm not going anymore.
Not to destroy the car.
You can break your old-timer.
This is how you deal with corruption.
Well...
I'm really glad we met.
-I need my papers.
-What are papel?
-The documents.
-Ah, documents, yes.
-There you go.
-Thank you.
Wait...
Down the road,
three and a half kilometres from here,
you have these...
(speaks in slang)
Understand?
Fuck you and your law.
Also do I need this scene
with the robbery?
Although it is important
because it was based on true events.
This fig is dry.
-What?
-Pardon me.
I don't know.
This is the worst. 'Cause I'm now...
When you lose your self-confidence.
Maybe my female character
is too focused on figuring out...
Then there is this
strong connection with her family.
It seems she is a very
gender-defined character.
Understand?
Why is he not connected to his family?
Maybe she should buy a Mercedes,
a sailing boat or whatever?
Is he really like that?
If you read the script you would know.
I don't know why I'm sharing this with you
because you don't understand what...
But you need electricity
between the two main characters.
Are you saying I need porn?
-No, no, no.
-So it can be there.
You must have some plot.
If you exclude the robbery,
you're left with just a love story.
There needs to be some action.
In their joint story
there are individual journeys.
The question is for whom
are you making this film?
-Asking me that?
-Why would anyone give you money for it?
You understand?
You have to sell the film. Simple as that.
If I have to sell the film?
When there is some creative process
and urge to create...
-Why do we need to...
-Then fuck it, make it by yourself!
-I probably will.
-Make it!
I will!
-What's up? Oops.
-Where were you?
I'm carrying all this stuff around.
I was at the meeting.

I hugged it. I connected with nature.

This is just paper.
But this pile of paper makes me
calm and hysterical at the same time.
Deep, my love. It's only money.
Beautiful...
I could...
-You could what?
-So what are you going to do with it?
-With what?
-With money, love?
With money, yeah...
You know, the question is not
what will I do with money.
It's what we will do with it.
Well, you know I want an apartment
in Paris where I will write.
That's not enough
for an apartment in Paris.
On the contrary,
it can cover...
-Sailing boat?
-Yes, sailing boat.
But Paris, my love!
Where are we going?
Just drive. I'm taking you to
my favorite place in Herzegovina.
But I know Herzegovina,
I've been to Herzegovina.
What you saw and with whom you saw it
does not interest me.
I'm hungry.
Then you should turn.
-Here?
-Yes.
FREEDOM TO THE RIVERS!
Tires, love!
I can't hear you, my love!
Tires, love!
Let's go! Action!
Come on! Tires! My love.
Come on! Don't be like that.
Alright.
That's good.
Why are you looking at me?
What exactly are you doing?
I wanna throw these.
But why?
You drive.
Open the door.
Good afternoon.
Passports.
And driver's license.
We are interrupting the music
for an important update.
Police have discovered the burned jeep
believed to be used
in one of the most spectacular robberies
in our country.
A reminder, the robbery was conducted
by unidentified armed men in
Peacekeeping Force uniforms last December
during the handover of the Peace mission
to the new Peacekeeping Force.
This story has been published
by all main news agencies worldwide.
Police are on the lookout
for the perpetrators.
Well preserved.
Little giant.
Women love it.
Good bye.
Anything to declare?
Go! Go! Beat it!
What a car, huh?
-What a babe.
-Like new.
Fuck me.
And then they decided
to redirect the attack.
They demolished all the bridges of river
Neretva and built one during the night.
-During one night?
-Yes.
Who told you this story? In one night?
It's written in all the history books.
They even made a film about it.
Yes, of course... A film made by
the regime. A story made by the regime.
Please stop with that western propaganda.
It has nothing to do with that.
It's pure logic.
Listen, they had to transport the wounded.
The Germans thought the whole time
that the Partisans withdrew.
That's how they pulled it off.
It sounds like...
Like the best strategic war story
you've ever heard of.
Yes, exactly. A good story.
Fiction.
Why do you have to spoil everything
with your pragmatism and logic?
Okay. Sorry.
-Tell me your story.
-No. You totally ruined it.
I promise I won't talk anymore.
I'm listening. Please.
Listen. I'll shut up.
I promise I won't interrupt you anymore.
Finish the story please.
Grandpa used to tell it to me
when I was a little girl.
I thought it was the best story ever.
Well, yes. Good. It is a great story.
You should be proud of it. Yes.
Shh! Now I'm also wondering
how they managed to do it in one night.
You smell so good. I could eat you.
I thought I already did.
You should never stop.
-What took you so long?
-We went off-road.
-Hello, you good?
-Good.
-Good.
-Well.
-We were expecting you yesterday.
-How are you?
-What's this?
-Well...
-What do you want to drink?
-Water.
-Fire water?
-Is there any other?
You, mate?
Yes. Sure.
How are you?
How are you handling this heat here?
I don't know. It's okay, more or less.
So many tourists. It's insane.
We got stuck in traffic.
-Sant.
-Sant.
Brought you something.
You robbed the bank?
Something like that.
It's a good deed to rob a bank.
My love.
To healthy children.
To love.
To happiness.
Mostar is a really warm and pleasant town,
something like a womb.
And you know what a womb feels like?
The memory is foggy, but it's still there.
And what do you say, my dear?
For now it's alright, but ask me again
in a couple of months, I guess.
How long are you staying here?
One night.
Or at least that's what I thought.
Never mind. Let's say
you're staying here for two weeks.
And you're coming from some extremely
capitalistic consumeristic place.
Buy, die... Where to go, what to do?
Here, after a while you start to notice
this pressure slowly disappearing.
Everything is at ease and relaxed.
and you find yourself in this state of
mind which in Mostar they call mazloom.
-What is mazloom?
-Mazloom.
-What's that?
-Mazloom. Mazloom.
Mazloom is a state of mind freed from
any pressure of today's society.
It's a very interesting word.
In Arabic it means...
"sufferer."
And maybe in Hindi, I don't know.
In our language it translates more to
that Italian phrase, dolce far niente.
I'm sorry, darling,
but I have to steal her away now.
Dolce... Dolce niente...
And people can't... Sweet idleness...
Today people can't afford it.
First job, second job, third job...
Pay the bills!
Worrying how you'll manage...
Want some beer?
Which nowadays is a real luxury...
How are you, darling?
What are you working on at the moment?
I'm traveling towards the sea.
Getting to know my motherland.
-And?
-And I'm surprised how beautiful it is.
Yeah? You weren't aware before?
Well... Living in small
and claustrophobic Sarajevo
I often let myself be
judgmental and apathetic.
You seem a bit tired, no?
I know... I sound awful.
I'm waiting for mazloom to kick in.
I even tried to translate mazloom
into Japanese...
Actually I want
to make a film in Herzegovina.
A magnificent love story that...
ends tragically.
So in Japanese
it would sound something like...
-No rest until...
-Hold that thought.
...revival.
What about you? How do you feel?
Are you ready?
No, no.
Not at all.
But...
ia is here. He calms me down.
He's very excited for us.
I think everything is going to be okay.
So powerful!
Yeah. It's nice.
Let's stay here forever.
And do what?
Grow trees?
We'll make babies.
And found a tribe.
We'll name it...
The Tribe of the Rising Sun.
-Why are you like that?
-What?
Why do you spoil everything?
Yes?
You really ruin every moment.
That is unbelievable.
Do you have something to tell me?
Nothing.
I know you, I can tell
when you have something to say to me.
-I knew it.
-You knew what?
I knew something was wrong.
Everything is fine.
Yeah, sure.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing.
Everything is fine. All is perfect.
Can you please...
-What am I doing?
-Put your feet down.
Why?
Because you'll break something.
Of course I won't.
Can you please put your feet down. Please.
-But why?
-Because you'll break it, God.
Why do I have to explain everything?
I'm not the only one who thinks like this.
No!
Are you listening to what I'm saying?
Impossible.
You are driving me insane...
Big time.
To the moon and back.
Long distances.
You're only sixteen
And you want to go to disco
And you want to be kissed
Traffic and driver's...
license.
Do we know why you're being stopped?
No.
You were driving too fast.
No, no, no, no. No, no. No.
Yes, yes.
You... drive... too fast.
Yes, I understand. No, no.
Fifty.
What 50? You drove too fast.
Nah. No.
50. Fifty.
What 50? Yes.
50 is too fast. Limit here is 20.
You drove 50. Limit 20.
Get out from the car! Let's go!
Road. Off-country road.
-What road? What?
-Usual speed limit.
You drove too fast.
Come over here! Look!
Do you see that piece of land?
There is a slope.
High grass. I put a sign there
20 limit sign. Me the law.
My land. My road.
-Law?
-Yeah. Law.
No problem.
Bravo!
Where is this thing now? Just a second.
Here it is.
Regulation book. Law.
-Wait. One minute, one second.
-Wait, wait, wait.
-Speed limit.
-Wait.
-Let's check. It's not complicated.
-Let's not get over excited.
-You didn't know this one, yeah?
-Wait.
-Well, how are you?
-With pleasure to you too.
We don't need no book. I was just
showing you the sign. To be careful.
If this is vacation,
I'm not going anymore.
Not to destroy the car.
You can break your old-timer.
This is how you deal with corruption.
Well...
I'm really glad we met.
-I need my papers.
-What are papel?
-The documents.
-Ah, documents, yes.
-There you go.
-Thank you.
Wait...
Down the road,
three and a half kilometres from here,
you have these...
(speaks in slang)
Understand?
Fuck you and your law.
Also do I need this scene
with the robbery?
Although it is important
because it was based on true events.
This fig is dry.
-What?
-Pardon me.
I don't know.
This is the worst. 'Cause I'm now...
When you lose your self-confidence.
Maybe my female character
is too focused on figuring out...
Then there is this
strong connection with her family.
It seems she is a very
gender-defined character.
Understand?
Why is he not connected to his family?
Maybe she should buy a Mercedes,
a sailing boat or whatever?
Is he really like that?
If you read the script you would know.
I don't know why I'm sharing this with you
because you don't understand what...
But you need electricity
between the two main characters.
Are you saying I need porn?
-No, no, no.
-So it can be there.
You must have some plot.
If you exclude the robbery,
you're left with just a love story.
There needs to be some action.
In their joint story
there are individual journeys.
The question is for whom
are you making this film?
-Asking me that?
-Why would anyone give you money for it?
You understand?
You have to sell the film. Simple as that.
If I have to sell the film?
When there is some creative process
and urge to create...
-Why do we need to...
-Then fuck it, make it by yourself!
-I probably will.
-Make it!
I will!
