Director Statement
"I grew up in the war between Iran and Iraq for eight years, experiencing all the difficulties and damages that war caused in my personal life. I directed a short film about war, inspired by my own life and how it can affect children and women. I still suffer from the impact of war, and this short film serves as a healing process for me, aiming to raise awareness against the devastating effects of war."
