Filmmaker's Note

It is clearly a post covid story with a twist of nostalgia as a millenial who sometimes thinks that the world was better without the internet, but aware that during the 90's and early 2000, patriachy and masculine toxicity was the standard. I'm glad it changed and movement such as ME TOO happened. Creating a Boysband was perfect as well to tell this story as boysbands at the time were really criticized (for singing, showing fellings etc) and that their fans (often women) were criticized as well. One of the main character is gay and slowly changed into a straight person. etc I wanted to say a lot of things in 15 min, and I hope it can entertain !
