OVULE
Film focuses on story of a woman whose fears and obssesions are taking over her everyday routine, transforming her life into all-embracing jungle. It symbolises the struggle with personality disorders while being in a relationship with beloved one. It is an visual analysis on separation anxiety disorder that occurs mostly in childchood but can be present at all stages of life. This exessive fear of losing mother or father creates many dark scenarios in the mind of a child. In many cases this trauma continues to grow even in late adulthood and focuses on partner instead of a parent. When woman is left alone at home, and absence of her man became longer than usual her paranoia grows. Nothing is as it seems for her. She becomes suspicious,insanely jealous and fearful. She scares of loneliness. That leads to creation of a new reality, much more vibrant and colorful than her everyday life, where all the madness becomes substantial, tangible, all the precognitions turned out to be true. It shows how subconciousness can be dangerous and unpredictable. Fiercesness in the deep, mysterious jungle.
