Al-Khatib said in a statement to SANA: The film is a journey of searching in the worlds of people who try to be influencers   in times of war and at the same time an attempt to understand the survivor’s complex and the clash of two convictions, one centered around collective survival and the other around individual survival.

Al-Khatib explained that  in this film he was trying to retain  the local stamp and yet  at the same time communicate this genre of film   to the outside world .

The film cast  includes actors Marah Hijaz and Marhaf Al-Krad, scenographer Ghaith Marzouqi, cinematographer Haidar Al-Hamid and Amin Abu Al-Qasim, music composition Ali Suleiman and technical operations Ibrahim Tawil.
