“Personally to me it’s a film about a girl that always is willing to put others first and trying to please her family and friends until she starts to lose herself in everyones world, sometimes she just wants to disappear in her own peaceful world.” - Rukia Mahamed, Actor and Director “It’s a young woman's journey of growth within the generational and cultural framework. Finally seeing Fardosa's character floating to a dream like state.” - Iqlaas Osman, Actor and Director “Collaborating with Rukia and Iqlaas was alot based on improvisation, that allowed them to tell their own story, with their own style. The film is an end result of our collective values, moods, and taste that we all share.” - Anton Tammi, Director
