Producer's Vision
Our vision, as a production company, is to convey a profound and emotional story about courage and cowardice seen as two sides of the same coin. It is also a film about the blurred social differences in an oppressive society, about survival mechanisms, and how the instinct for self-preservation operates in such a society. The film explores themes such as solidarity, personal interest, fear, and the instinct for self-preservation in a tense social and political context.
