When we talk about self-confrontations, we are speaking about moral issues rather than social issues.

It was important to me to make a film where I don't show the past but where the spectators can see the past.

I would have had the same narrative, regardless of the atmosphere and the restrictions.

Is there one specific source that determines correct morality and everybody should follow that? Or should individuals come up with following that source or not depending on their situation?

I tend to jot down moments, lines, interactions that don't really make any sense. I try and explain these scattered notes to my close friends, and they become more and more logical. I see screenwriting as a bit like a math equation which I have to solve.

I gained a great deal from the period during which I worked in theater and I value those things a great deal.

I always thought that in the countries that the modernity kicks in later, it seems that everything changes on the surface, the physical things change, but inside, things haven't changed, really. This is always the challenge of this kind of community, to make a harmony between the cultural traditions and the modernity of modern life.
