Purity and resilience

1. The deepest feeling:

It comes from the very pure family love in Iranian movies, especially the relationship between brothers and sisters. There is also the unique sense of mystery and beauty of Muslim women (the delicate facial features between Asia and Europe), their softness is like East Asia, but not as soft as water, but with small Like grass, it has a certain resilience, and although it is tragic, it still shines with the brilliance of humanity.
