“When you’re young, love is given to you if you’re lucky enough to have at least one caring parent or caretaker, but over the course of a child’s life, I think the idea of love evolves. I was trying to explore that. And I think at some point there’s always going to be a fall from grace and I wanted to see how does a kid go from realizing their initial perception of love doesn’t fit with the real world and it has to be something bigger and greater, something they seek on their own.”
