This short film is more than just a portrayal of theft; it’s a metaphor for humanity’s complex relationship with love. Inspired by a conversation with my partner, we reflected on how history’s greatest crimes often trace back to betrayals of love, whether for people, ideals, or passions.

The painting in the story symbolizes something deeply cherished—an embodiment of beauty, emotion, and connection. Its theft represents the lengths we sometimes go to possess what we love, even at the cost of damaging it or ourselves.

This is not just a story of loss or crime; it’s an exploration of how love compels us, shapes our actions, and sometimes leads us astray.
