Director Statement
This film is the attempt of translation without generalization, seeking to visualize the world of a very special character without involving a conflicting norm as a means of comparison. We tried to work around the genre of a coming of age drama, showing peoplefrom the countryside in concrete relations and in their everyday life. Inspired by the timelessness of the landscape within the film, turning points are not dramatized in an edgy way but carried gently from hill to hill.
