Director Statement

In the film, the car as a litmus paper shows the vices of our society. And it touches on several topics. The first topic is the bullying of a person because of his appearance. The second topic. Success and financial well-being, raise a person on a pedestal, but do not make him happy. I want people to see themselves through a cinematic mirror, recognize themselves in something, laugh at themselves and become a little better.
