Director Statement

In this film, I tried to connect this historical past to the present, and it was important for me to show this concept through photography. Because I think history lives in our memory like a photo album.
History is still alive in the photos, talking to us and flowing in our minds
In this film, I see a small, pleasant and romantic house like my homeland, which is surrounded by historical tragedies.
On the other side of the wall, there can be a bitter history or a miracle that we are all waiting for, which is why there is always a line between hope and despair in our minds.

History always repeats itself in us.
For my contemporaries in Iran, historical memory plays an important role.
We have not lived in the bitter history of Iran, but it is always present in our minds and it is as if we are living with our past. For a country like Iran, which has always been invasion and looting by foreign powers, and after which it has spent many bitter days inside and with domestic powers, history is constantly repeating itself. It is as if we are stuck in a vicious cycle of history and the past is constantly connected to our present and future.
