“The story actually begins in a village, in a village beyond the border. We spent a very long time in that village. That village has a story. There is what happened in that village. It was a 4 month shooting process. Like Mehmet, actually I, as Engin, lived that journey a little bit. We also changed on that journey. When we returned to our own home with what we experienced there, the experiences there also added something to us. I started to look at life from a slightly different place than the old Engin. Along with the power of this story and the change of the story there, I also experienced that change with Mehmet.”
