In life, bad things happen to everyone at random intervals. During these times, even people we have never met, but are aware of their existence, assure us that they will help us without any personal gain, that they will support us, and remind us of how valuable we are. However, when the expected bad situation turns out to be even worse than anticipated, the voices of these strangers fall silent. For a long time, we fight our battles in silence, while the noise inside our heads grows overwhelming. This contrast between external silence and internal chaos is broken by a single voice. Often, this voice belongs to someone who can no longer bear the same silence and noise and doesn’t want others to endure it either. You know how sometimes you just feel like screaming in response to events? Well, this is one of those moments, and this film is about exactly that a slightly more comprehensible way of screaming.

We were deeply shaken in every way by the most recent earthquake in our country. We sought refuge in the healing and soothing power of art. We searched for ways to invest in young people and find a ray of hope for them. Our goal was to help young people interested in the arts bring their talents to life and find a way to express themselves to the world. We organized workshops, talks, and training sessions on scriptwriting for young people aged 14-19, led by experts in the field. Afterwards, the young participants wrote scripts on the theme of "Earthquake." One of the scripts was selected by a panel of judges, and it was filmed with the involvement of all the young participants, offering them the opportunity to gain on-set experience. The young people experienced the joy of creation and collective work, while I had the privilege of contributing to earthquake awareness among them.
