Director’s statement
”It’s a Bittersweet Life” is a story that’s examining time, legacy, loneliness and finding meaning through loss. The human desire of creating something that outlive us and cheats death, and the hard acceptance of letting someone go and move on into a separate future. Time waits for no one.”
— André Havéus —
