Director's Statement

The hero of my story is a woman. There is a tragic paradox in this character: being Heroine and Victim simultaneously; The responsibility of her own family is on her slender shoulders and there is a love waiting on the road of life for her something similar to probable freedom or fragile happiness, but love brutally can also be a load or pressure for some women like Ava.
