Heshmatollah Mokhtari

A mosaic of stories explore Iranian modernity. Following a Persian literary model, personal dilemmas, fanciful speculations and historical motifs follow one another, establishing evocative correspondences between them. From the commitment with which the characters narrate events, it is clear that, beyond history, human time corresponds to myth and anecdote: mythological birds, misregistered surnames, scars from chemical weapons, and memories of deceased women.

It’s an ironic portrayal of Iran’s history by the inhabitants of the city of Isfahan, presented in four parts, and about the wind that sweeps everything away.
