Directors View:
I suppose we have more and more question to ask as we grow older. Dehkhoda,the great Iranian encyclopaedist define”Love”as having affection for others. But how or from what experience did he derive such a definition? In the popular culture?Or in the Being?Some people define “Being”as that which can be perceived through senses. In other words,it is that which can be touched. But that would mean there is no air(Oxygen),because we can not touch or see it. And if there is no air,then what do we inhale? And what kind of relation is there between Being and Love? On board the ship of love sailing through the immense vastness of the sky,we travel from the dawn of eternity to the depths of the infinity with the sorrow of memory in the lucid waterfall of the eye I have seen longing eyes filled with tears in the planet of light’s dream whereto is the swaying ship taking us?
