Wes Anderson’s last work "The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun" became the conceptual basis of this series. According to the plot, Arthur Hovitzer Jr., working as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, couldn’t handle other people's tears in his presence, as evidenced by the sign that says  "Don’t cry in my office" hanging above the entrance his office.

"Don’t cry in my office" is a series about the beauty, glory, and power of emotions, the beauty of sadness, about the strength of vulnerability, the ability to deal with "bad", "sad", "uncomfortable" emotional conditions.
