This begs the question when put in a compromising position by someone you love - what would you do? Would you take the risk of being identified as an accomplice to a crime? Would you give them up, knowing that you would be responsible for their fate? Or, would you choose to bear the consequences, no matter what comes your way? These were the questions I chose to explore in this short film.
