Director's Note
"I believe that cinema is more than just having fun. The possibilities of cinema can be used to allow us to see our universe in a way we have never seen before. We have witnessed that the great masters of cinema have established their own culture and language with an unprecedented beauty. This short film tries to show how a simple and perhaps ordinary plot can create a spiritual and transcendent feeling by using the possibilities of cinema. I tried to reveal the deep counterpart of this simple plot in the Sufi tradition. It is these 'indescribable' and 'inexplicable' intuitions that I am after as a director."
