Director Statement

The project became a real discovery for us because of our intention for improvisation and not having too much of a script written.
The story's spine lays within the ritual of Agni Hotra, the fire of illumaniton to which you offer your impurities and darkness.
We shot the fire scene in a one take.
The indication was; release your demons.
What we get to observe on the screen is the real pain of someone exteriorising his worst thoughts, envies and complexes.
I was trembling behind my camera as my best friend was expressing anger that I had never seen before.
This project is also the discovery of a friend, the depth of human beings.
That is why it will always remain a project that is precious and very dear to me.
