The director’s notes:

This isn’t a short film based on social denunciation. It is not even a tearful fairy tale about a good-hearted immigrant who finds fortune. It is only a story about feelings: a brief episode aimed at moving the spectator, while transmitting an element of surprise. The objective is to show that interior turmoil goes beyond racial, ethnic and sexual differences. Therefore, since the story has a universal meaning, I deliberately omitted names of cities or made precise references.
