Director's statement

When I created "Foxtrot", I wanted to confront the absurdity and tragedy embedded in cycles of violence. The film unfolds in three movements, mirroring the dance from which it takes its name—a circular pattern that always returns to its starting point. Through the story of grieving parents and a young soldier stationed at a remote checkpoint, I explored how personal loss intersects with national trauma. **The film ultimately suggests** that fate, bureaucracy, and fear trap individuals in repetitive patterns of suffering. By blending dark humor with stark realism, I sought to reveal the emotional cost of conflict and the fragile humanity hidden beneath uniform and ritual.
