Director Statement

All we think about, all we wish for could become our reality because our thoughts are material. This is a film adaptation of Stephen King's story "Mute" about man's repentance for his thought and words. I wanted to draw the viewer's attention to the fact that our thoughts and our words create our life and that we should be more carefull with them.
