I think mainly it's about how the political atmosphere can drive people paranoid and crazy and create the destruction of the society, the political polarization, the political tensions and the idea of a polarized society between enemy and friends can destroy our identities, our confidence.

When we were shooting the film, we were living in a quite peaceful period and we thought that when we were shooting it, we said that now the film is referring more to the past, but suddenly in July after this bomb attack in Suruc the ceasefire has stopped between Kurdish guerrillas and the government. And the film suddenly started referring to the present.

The history of the 20th century is full of such political conflicts and you can see such political atmosphere everywhere.
