After making many films and gaining various experiences on subjects such as children’s rights, raising awareness about disability and social issues, I went to the desert and the poor region of Fahraj in Kerman for four years for voluntary activities. Not having a birth certificate is very normal in this area and many children are deprived of their basic rights of living. With the help from my friends, we tried to provide more help in this area by raising awareness and creating content. And I couldn’t make a movie out of all the footage I had because I knew that anyone who sees these kinds of footage will end up feeling sick because of all the poverty and misery. (Of course this is definitely not he idea behind the film), until I came across Abolfazl and Setayesh. Besides showing the problems of this areas, especially the problem of not having a birth certificate, that has prevented Setayesh to have an education, I tried to depict the fun those two children had together and the effort of Abolfazl, who in my opinion was an absolute hero.
Water, wind, earth, and fire are the four elements of the creation of the world. We used “bread” instead of “fire” in the naming of the film. This was an area in which the people were even deprived of simple bread. This film is an intimate and close story of two children who live with pain and suffering, but have big hearts and a sweet beautiful world.
