"The viewer has to dig into the film and make an open interpretation of things. The kind of atmosphere – or the universe – created by the film uses illusionary elements to speak about a problem that is real, based on true stories, but it creates this possibility of talking about reality through the eyes of the viewer. The film becomes a prism that you can relate to in different ways, depending on your point of view. If you are from this culture you will relate to the film in a very different way than if you are from abroad. You are not supposed to understand all of it, but you can follow the emotional flow of the film and somehow grab your own story and go with it and somehow get a glimpse of a little picture of one story. A film can never represent reality. Which reality? The one that you see? The one that I see"
