From the director
This short film is about the sexual awakening of younger people (adolescents) in repressed and religious countries like Iran, where this story happens. It is about their struggles to differentiate their natural needs from the cultural construct that prohibits them from expressing their feelings and emotions and demonize most things about sexuality. This is an important subject for Iran's today's society that has not been talked about discussed enough.
