Director Statement

Written and directed by award-winning animation director, Aryasb Feiz, it is a poignant tale of youth and yearning set in 70s Iran. A scrappy 10-year-old urchin struggles to survive the day-to-day hardships of Iranian street life and forms a friendship with a stray dog forever changing their lives. The child and the process of growing up are common metaphors for the regeneration and renewal of society, while childhood is seen as the equivalent of humanity in its infancy. The Iranian talent packed such themes of childhood to explore the ambiguity of human morality. At the core of the story lies the tale of poverty and how it affects a society’s morality.

This short film has been meticulously crafted by the resilient BadStache Studio, an independent animation studio based in Iran. Despite navigating through substantial challenges, including sanctions and the ongoing pandemic, over the course of 6 years, more than 80 Iranian artists devoted their efforts to bringing this project to life.
