Director Statement

The inspiration of this film comes from the real story of a young man in the countryside who becomes a fool for love. I'd like to know what kind of external pressure and inner transformation this young man has suffered under what circumstances, which eventually leads to spiritual collapse? I'm from the countryside, so I want to try to draw the young man's mental journey and what happened around him step by step from the family and friends I know as well as the local customs in our village.
