Director's View

The magic melody of "Nature" has always been pulling me and none of my works are free of this tight and invisible attachment.



The Winter Song is a song inspired from Nature and is dedicated to the Nature. This film is a logical continuity of my previous works.



And, from a general point of view, we understand that in this "Magic Trip", we get closer to the deep nature of human being which is the only left value of our Earth.
