Director‘s Statement
The film uses a unique personified viewpoint and a poetic way to reflect on the reality of changing society and diminishing traditions. In the film, the director utilizes different forms of water and varying angles of reflection from the mirror to develop the story, gradually condensing the emotions of the character and infiltrating the emotions through the idyllic images. The director wishes to use this film as a tribute to the deceased Iranian movie director Abbas Kiarostami.
