Notes from the director
In the current situation, while making a film outside of the governmental cinema’s ideology is almost impossible, we have tried to make a film outside the structures of most Iranian films. This is why I did all the stages of making this film such as cinematography, directing, editing, and writing, on my own; in order to reach a completely independent film about the youth’s dream and cinema.
