I think it’s really sad, but I have kids, and I don’t see stories of love that I want them to see.
For Miele, who is a mother of two, the inspiration for the story came in the wake of a car accident she’d been in with her husband about six years ago. “I really was struck by this moment of insane gratitude for the whole messy, delicate, little life that we had built,” the director explained. “It really gave me a very fresh perspective on what mattered in my life, and in that moment, I was like, ‘Oh my god. I just want to share this feeling.
While contemplating the project early on, Miele had two specific goals in mind. “I really wanted to do something that structurally reflected the way that my brain works, which is very rarely in the present, but often in the past, or projecting into the future,” she said. “The other thing was finding a way to reflect on a relationship—the best and the worst moments of it—and to try to take stock of, what is it worth, at the end of the day?”, click on the video above.
