I was lucky. This is a new experience. I tried to combine several elements in this film. Fine art, traditional performing arts. dramaturgy of puppets, and traditional music that I record with a camera-direct. Of course this is a challenging event, which must be conquered. Only the necessary speed and ability to respond to events. Because, I noted that the incident directly, exercise puppet stage. Mix, in the editing process is really fun. I like to play puzzle. A puzzle that must be answered.

Jury Comment :
A very interesting movie; the treatment is brilliant and special because it is dealt in a very different way creating a strange sensitivy. A new dimension is revealed paving the way to claim their rightful demands. A good effort." (Tapan Sinha, Film Director India, CON CAN Jury )
A familiar approach to a familiar theme in recent documentary.The mournful music comments too heavily on the images, which themselves sometimes seem random. (Chris Fujiwara, USA Film Critic)
A surprising and close look into a different kind of life. The documentary does not offer simple ready answers, but makes one define what is normal.(Jukka-Pekka Laakso, Director of Tampere Film Festival Finland )
