"I believe that this film is quite critical and has a strong political message so I really want people to, I would really like to have people discuss about it and have the right message."
(Reporter: "I heard you said it has a lot of global relevance today. So could you tell me more about that?")
Alper: "Although the story is very local, it takes place in a village, it tells many things about what is going on in the world on a micro level, especially in Israel and Palestine. You can read this film like this. Thins is a story about how crazy leaders and how self delusional society is commit crimes, that's why I found this film quite relevant for today."

Duman: "Well I am from the location where they shot the movie by the way. Originally I am from there so the culture and the language, I can do good communication with the people. So it was very easy for me by the way because I can speak the language, we have 2 languages in the movie. And there wasn't that much pressure because we are feeling like it was our homeland. And both of my colleagues are from a close city. He was one of the directors that we always wanted to work with so we are lucky that we worked with him. And in my home village.
