Director Statement


"Roots" is an exclusively personal story for me, which I lived for 3 months, and every time I discovered something new for myself. For me, cinema is first of all emotions, and this work is not about a clear, canonical, script-correct story, it is first of all about real people and their emotions that arose against the background of migration to other countries.
