Seven months after my son died in a car accident, I decided to warm myself up somehow. On the Internet, I saw a male musician and decided to make a movie about his life. I started the movie with a photographer and a sound recorder without script and pre-production. During the work, which lasted 12 days, the script was formed at the same time as filming. Creating this film was a kind of occupational therapy for my broken soul. Everyone in the film is real and the subject is a little bit of a social documentary about the people who live in the busy city of Tehran.
