After all, a bit of hope is essential to any suicide - a faint hope that things will get better with one's death. And, I too had this misguided hope that by researching those with suicidal thoughts, I can somehow explain my own death drive. Little did I know that some forms of knowledge are not acquired - they can only be lived. That is why I decided to only narrate in my film one's experience and refrain from taking a position. To sit back, much like my audience, and witness my character and his reactions to glimpses of life. To give him a chance and wish him well. I have no idea what has happened to my character since, but after shooting the film, I have a vivid feeling of being saved - a feeling of rebirth. Written by Amir Jalali See less
