The production of this stop-motion animation has just been completed and it depicts the world of war with an anti-war narrative. In this work, we don't see any war scenes or unfortunate events, and it is narrated how humans go to war with their own kind. "Piano", which is a 7-minute short film, deals with poverty and life's problems, and is the story of a person who wants to buy a piano, but the war crisis occurs and he is deprived of the simplest things in his life. According to Keshani, our character lives in the middle of his external and internal war, and the simple dreams of his life become unattainable dreams and finally he reaches inner peace.
