(Family Routine) film expresses my belief in the importance of the cinema industry as a soft power in transferring ideas to different social segments, and also expresses my philosophical vision as a filmmaker, which reflects my strong bias towards the socially outcast categories. The film discusses how the collective consciousness of reactionary societies creates replicas that fear difference. The chosen topic reflects my affliction by the societal issues that I experienced during my upbringing. The film is inspired by personal experiences that I have had over the course of my life, which instilled in me inherited habits and beliefs that are difficult to get rid of. In the end, I tried to produce a piece dedicated to the masses of society, and open up horizons for contemplation.
