The central theme of the film is "truth" and its value in comparison to "lies" or "embellished truths." In an era overflowing with information streams and fake news, this theme is more relevant than ever. Through Blin Fiducie, Luka seeks to explore and question these concepts, using light absurdity to probe the boundaries between truth and falsehood.
