Director's Statement
Even if you aren¡¯t born to good parents, even if you never discover a special talent, even if you have no dreams, even if you don¡¯t put in extraordinary effort, even if you never achieve anything remarkable, even if you aren¡¯t lucky, I hope that everyone who lives through labor can still be recognized as having equal rights simply by virtue of being human.
