Director Statement

Sir.Bandera
As a director, I try to open a new perspective on human beings.
seeing other humans, with all the dynamics that occur in them.
However, what convinced me to make this movie was to emphasize my alignment on this issue
that as a director, I encourage good values in looking at humans as they
view the sanctity and majesty of their god. In the end, the story that is made is the relationship between humans and their own surrender and their relationship with what they believe in, and it is all that makes them realize their relationship with something bigger.

Zalina Maryam
Happiness is an abstract thing. It means different things to different people. In this movie, I want to illustrate how when someone wants to have happiness but is hindered by themselves. How structural poverty greatly affects each individual's pursuit of freedom.
