Director Statement

This film is my interpretation about social, economic, and relgion issues. For some peoples, myths, even if sometimes they are irrational, some peoples still cling to them. I try to reconcile between trust and need with the past events and future expectations. If the trust is the inheritance of the ancestors, then the need is a provision for future generations with contextualization and actualization of thinking.
