Director Statement

I believe Children are not just the projection of the future but also the mirror of the present reality. And home is always the first school of any child, and that does not spare corruption as well.
For me, this film serves as an exploration on child psychology which has always been an interesting subject to me and the film takes me back to my childhood, the little struggle, my own little world and my friends.
