Director's Comment
The idea to write and produce "Sanitatem" basically came from two reasons. The first reason from a filmmaker's point of view: I wanted to write and shoot a genre apocalyptic film, because it fascinates me to philosophize about what happens when our social order collapses and how civilized people become selfish monsters from one moment to the next.
The second reason is emotional. I am dealing with the death of my mother in her teens. I try to show through the characters and their actions that it is insanely important to process such strokes of fate - together.
Loana is a young doctor who, because of the pressure to survive in our apocalyptic world, has not had time to deal with her hurtful past.
I try to tell through her how important it is to accept trauma for oneself and to share it with other people. Because I am convinced that you can only work through trauma with other people.
