CGiii Comment

There is no point in making these 'statement' films...until all filmmakers/writers renounce/denounce all religious cults and their misogynistic/homophobic laws. It's that simple.

Weirdly, through all of your [directors], [weirdly, woke] nonsense, you fuel their cultish fire. And, in this particular case, ridiculous, random colour filters do not help one iota.

There's nothing original here...it's all gleaned from old film [stock], let us hope that film curatio is your next avenue to tread...with a brand new, skewed interpretation. Hey, it's islam, it hip! It's colonisation.


No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Daria has written her first manuscript about falling in love with a mysterious girl called 'abi'. The night flowers in her garden hide the secrets of a country that has turned love stories into routine crime scenes.
