A girl named Pari who has a strange claim: she is from the future and escaped from a cruel man. Pari arouses Vahid's sympathy and now Vahid and Parsa, in conflict with each other, must face the decision to accept Pari's request and shelter her in their home or not.The arrival of Kayvan, a man who claims to be Pari's husband, complicates the situation. He claims Pari is undergoing treatment and suffers from mental illness. Vahid, who does not believe Kayvan's claim, gets into a fight with him, and the result leads to Pari leaving and running away from home.

Director Statement

As a film director, my goal is to create powerful and thought-provoking stories that capture the audience's imagination and emotions. I believe in the power of cinema as a medium for social change and strive to tell stories that challenge the status quo and promote empathy and understanding. My approach to filmmaking is collaborative, involving close collaboration with actors, writers, and crew members to bring the vision to life. Through my work, I hope to inspire and entertain viewers while bringing attention to issues that matter.
As technology advances and robots become increasingly common, it's important to acknowledge the potential impact on society. The presence of robots raises questions about our responsibility towards them, and whether we treat them as tools or as counterparts. As a filmmaker, I believe it's crucial to explore these themes through narrative, challenging our perceptions of what it means to be human and how we interact with technology. By facing these issues now, we can better navigate the integration of robots into our daily lives and create a more equitable future for all.
As technology continues to advance, the topic of robots and their integration into our society becomes increasingly relevant. It is important to question the ethical implications of interacting with robots that are designed to imitate human behavior, and potentially even pass as human. I believe that as a society, we must approach these situations with empathy and caution, while also acknowledging the potential benefits that robots can bring. It is crucial that we establish guidelines and regulations to ensure responsible and respectful treatment of both humans and robots.
The ever-increasing speed of technological progress and the rapid changes in the world we see have always fascinated me.
That artificial intelligence and man-made robots will eventually change the world. In our traditional society, where there has always been a deep conflict and gap between the young and modern generation with the previous generation, this new situation and the events related to artificial intelligence make it more challenging.
And it has fueled the existing confrontation and even the confrontation of traditions with this new phenomenon can seem funny and sometimes even scary.
J1 is the result of the interaction of two opposites, the tension existing in a traditional Iranian society and a new situation for which our traditional society has not been prepared.
I made this topic the basis of my short film so that I can share my challenge with others.
