Director Statement

I see the father figure is a person who is so great at leading a family, there is a feeling to look strong and manipulate feelings so that it looks fine in leading a family.

In Islam a father has an obligation to marry off his daughter. However, in reality this is not easy to achieve. Inability due to limited knowledge or moods that are uncertain sometimes becomes an obstacle in making it happen.

Then, what if a father who has a low educational background and religious knowledge gets a request for a once-in-a-lifetime moment to marry off his daughter?

The story idea for the film "Saya Nikahkan" was taken from a piece of true story that I saw from a father figure in my family, of course, from all the stories he has gone through in leading this small family.

Furthermore, a sense of inappropriateness is almost never experienced by most people.
