Synopsis
Pink came into Blue's life. Blue came into Pink's life. But, that had to be kept secret.
Purpose
The short film "The Saddest Tears" deals with the dangerous yet fated encounter between Pink and Blue, each having their own children and spouses. Everyone lives with some form of secret, whether it be a trivial and subtle lie or a tremendous secret they must take to their grave. People also have things they hold most dear, and when these cherished things or people collide in the same moment, they sometimes make wise choices and other times irreversible ones. Although the film tackles the heavy and avoidable subject of infidelity, I wanted to explore a theme that everyone might have felt at least once in their life, whether it remains a mere thought or progresses to a regretful action. The dilemma of being true to one's real emotions versus making a stable and moral choice is something that everyone might face at least once in their lives, even if not directly related to infidelity. While a line like "When I was with you, I felt like I transcended time and space. I loved you. But we must stop here," doesn't appear in the short film, it poses the question of whether a couple who gave their all in the moment of their affair can return to their original lives. Will time heal it? Will time erase the lingering feelings, longing, and guilt as if with an eraser until almost nothing remains? I wanted to poetically express these complex emotions using a somewhat abstract animation technique.
