Director’s Statement:

We\’ve learned to take each day as it comes, as there\’s no assurance of what lies ahead of us.
Considering the economic and political issues we experience on a daily basis, we move along with a certain amount of uncertainty within us.
Our existence is based on the amount of trust we hold within ourselves and for our surroundings.I assume this is the unique quality we and other communities around the world , gain after having survived crises after crises.In my deput short film I wanted to portray the resilient feature of people enduring difficult circumstances in six decades.
