Director Statement

When I breathe in the horrible and polluted air of the north, I used to wonder: “why am I still alive?" I heard a voice crying out from the throngs of mental derangement. With a guitar as his weapon and lyrics as his bullets, he shot fire at the skilful and clever people.
In an age of acute absurdity, those who know the truth are known as conspirators or criminals.
Singing is the last resort of praise to the hopelessness. The hearts of those who suffer are burning as hot as fire.
People don’t know Moses voice. When the red wind stirs up those wondering souls, the eternal freedom shines out it’s brightness in the darkness. At that moment, the cursed land collapses into the sea. Despite of all these, my heart rejoices because the angel welcomes the wondering rock with a great horn.
