General STATEMENT of the project:
This is a critic on putting labels on people;
On telling us who are we, on creating expectations..
On playing the role that you don’t want to play.
On the pressure of adjusting to heteronormative society;
On necessity to alignment with the gender pattern;
On dissonance between worlds which we face while growing up;
It’s about opening eyes, changing the mind set,
leaving things behind, getting into a new chapter..
It’s about an inside rebel or being a mental punk.
It’s about finding the right balance (literally and in metaphor)
and it shows that people are more than one layer..
That ridiculous things are always the best fun;
That Peter Pan exists, Punk is not dead and Queer rules!
It shows that princesses also have balls.
It shows that if you are brave enough you can change things!

Do not allowed anybody to put you into the box!
do NOt put LABELS yourself!
Think QUEER.

AMBIGUITY
What do I want to say?
We see legs of woman in spike heels and tight black skirt. By the way she walks you can tell she is self confident, sexy; she knows what she wants. She is a stereotype of successful woman. She’s one of those who most of woman wants to be and most man wants ‘to have’.. She fits perfectly into the social model of a perfect woman.
Soon the viewer will see that she’s much more than that!
She starts to walk fast, more resoluteness.. There is a skateboard laying on her way.. she doesn't care that she wear spike heels.. and she’s ‘not allowed’ to use it. She puts her feat on the skateboard and starts to ride. She gets her freedom. She doesn't let anybody to put her into the box. She is who she wants to be.
