Director Statement

This film is dedicated to a loving couple we met at a gathering of friends and spent just a few hours with.

Views that threaten diversity and inclusivity spread so quickly and easily in my country that no one knows what to do. Frankly, my film bothers me too. But if we don't make these non-inclusive perspectives and their consequences visible, I don't know how we can overcome these problems.

Thoughts are not respected, people are respected. Thoughts are subject to evaluation. need to be made aware of non-inclusive ways of thinking. While adopting an inclusive approach to building this awareness is both fundamentally and politically correct, it also leads us to be unwilling to see, unable to see, and unable to show a significant portion of existing reality. I believe it's crucial to make non-inclusive perspectives visible. The reality of the country I live in particularly compels me to do so. In my country, divisive and polarizing ideas are spreading like a disease everywhere at an incredible rate, while the individuals and communities targeted by these ideas live in fear.Of course, let's be inclusive, tolerant and kind, but let's not ignore the events that took place and the obvious facts that have passed the test of causality.

This film has no budget. It's the product of the dedicated work of just two people. I, Hüseyin Gürses, wrote, directed, shot, and edited the film. I also composed the original score. Emine Çelik, the film's talented actress, gave a wonderful performance in this film, following her performance in "Elveda."
