DIRECTOR,S STATEMENT

Family has been a considerable concern to me. I could neither leave it away nor absorb it utterly. I think that most complicated family relationship is my relationship with my mother. My mother was and still is a tough woman. I wished I could set up close relationship with her. My sister behaves like my mother. Our sisterhood emerged out then. She takes the duty to go through the unfinished role of my mother. When I grew up, I become curious to figure out the relationships. In this film, we see the relationship of two sisters in the absent of their mother. All of us have left our mothers behind. The mother that we knew them in our childhood, a happy mother who walked fast or listened to us …. STILL makes a review of such motherhood and sisterhood relationship. Let’s say : it goes through the STILLS, quoted by Shamlou, a great Iranian poet.
