The committee deemed that the film β€œintroduces a proposal for creative rendering and artistic presentation of the causes of the moral and economic crisis facing the country with clarity, directness and sensitivity, thus contributing to the rationalization of the real and aesthetic chaos, a prerequisite for self-awareness and liberation from confusion,” the ministry said in a statement.
