Director Statement

Always respecting others is considered one of the most important good moral qualities of every person, on the other hand, if this respect causes trouble and harm to the person, it makes life conditions in the society much more difficult. As a result, a person will have disturbing thoughts in his mind that if he cannot get rid of those thoughts, he will not be able to enjoy his life. This is an investigation and behaviorism about people obsessed with respecting others, made independently and with a critical look at the relationship between worker and boss. This topic can be global and can happen anywhere in the world and in different societies. This film is an adaptation of a short story by Anton Chukhov.
