Meglen Anzik Trpkov from Utrecht makes a film about grief

HKU student Meglen is confronted with loss several times in a short time. A few years ago, his 16-year-old white sheepdog Enzo, who has been important to him since childhood, died. His grandpa and grandma passed away last year, within a few months of each other. “I spent a long time researching who I actually am and I kept coming across a story that included a bit of grief. As a result, I became quite isolated for a few years and was depressed for a long time before I came to study at the HKU There I took a few acting classes and telling stories helped me deal with that grief.”
