Director Statement

When someone doesn’t believe in you in your early childhood, when you don’t have enough strength and belief in yourself then your dreams may not come true and basically you can find yourself just stuck in your own dreams or fantasy. We understand eternity in a way of space or universe and no one knows what you are going to do if you will have that second chance to live your life again from a new beginning.
