Director Bahman Ghobadi said, "Turtles have a very long life. In that long life, they live partly on water and partly on land. This is symbolic for me of the joy and anguish and migration of the Kurds. The slow-moving turtle is like the Kurds: With all of our problems, we have managed to move forward, and we always end up upright."
He says that in 275 days something big will happen in the area. The director said that he wanted to remind the audience that the story does not end at the end of the film: "so that the spectator does not lose touch with the film and so that he writes it down in his diary to see what happens then."
275 days is also an approximate length of a pregnancy, alluding to Agrin's child.
