Director Statement

‘Petan’ is an intimate activity that when someone searches for and gets rid of lice from the head of another person. Whether we realize it or not, ‘petan’ brings a special closeness between them. This film is redefining the touch as a form of the affection between parents and children. A touch that brings comfort so that the children liberally ask whatever is bothering them.
