Director Statement

I vividly remember I was sitting on the back of a bicycle. My father was riding it and he suddenly pulled over at one of his friends' house and asked me to wait for him while being seated on the chair at the front porch of the house. He went straight inside of the house and came back with tears waiting to drop down from his eyes. This was a complete new experience for me to see my father holding tears so hard. Years later, I found out he was in there to watch the video where 12 Nepalis were killed mercilessly at Iraq. From that day, all I could do is nothing but imagine the situation back then in Iraq. And this film is a small attempt to experience the situation by myself involved. This film is made for me to experience that time. In fact, to be honest, this film is my first practice for the bigger plan I have in my mind with this story since years.
