Vahid Vakilifar describes his film as follows: 'This is the story of ancient societies striving to align with modern and global developments. The more they strain their old systems of thought, the more they become constrained. In such societies, when they can't process or solve their own issues, after a few historical periods, constipation sets in, leading to blockages.'
The director, whose films have appeared at festivals like Rotterdam, Tribeca, San Sebastian, and Karlovy Vary, embraces a style distinct from the traditional approach of Iranian cinema.
