Director statement



I have been interested in films for many years and I have always been trying to tell stories about human and debatable subjects in the form of short films, because for me, short films are a place to share words. And the feeling and communication with the audience is through creativity and also experience. The most important challenge and attraction in making this film has been experiencing the non-linear narrative and using montage to reach a coherent whole.
