The film examines the behavior of people in public situations, questions certain images of men and shows the migration issue from the perspective of the second generation of immigrants. Particularly, I want to compare and contrast the group dynamics among children with those of adults. The story is based on an absurd event from my own childhood. Back then, my father was attacked by a man, he didn't know. The reason was a harmless argument between me and a classmate. The argument between the two fathers ended in death threats.
