Director Statement

The film exit is based on personal experiences. Since childhood, I have swallowed the dust of the village life and went to great city in order to complete my education. Although I am small in my age, I have reached to the point of origin of the idea with witnessing the stories of children forced or forced to work without completing their education.
I look at what kind of achievements he can achieve as long as he provides a support that can transform the world of imagination into reality if it is not prevented without distinction, as opposed to looking at a little child who is trying to sustain his life with abuses in Abbas's story. Abbas remains lonely at a young age, and despite the fact that he has to work, he continues to look forward to the future with his childish waste of happiness despite all the difficulties that life brings to him.
Many children who are unable to complete their education due to family or other reasons, whether due to material or not, will be in our society years ago and consistently after years. I think it will be a very fruitful platform to discuss the truth of the Worker Children that exist in our universal world, not only in our society, but also in discussing the fact that working children are not only in cities but in different perspectives. Apart from the parents, young people and their own education, family, work and social life, the expression that can actually be confronted even in our own neighborhood is the story of the little lives that are not visible underground
I can not wait to live my life.
