Fires (Feux, 2022) uses hand-painted, frame-by-frame animation to tell the story of Karun, a stray dog struggling to survive in a drought-stricken environment. Inspired by Sadegh Hedayat’s themes, the film metaphorically reflects the harsh realities faced by stray dogs amid Iran’s 2020 water crisis and social unrest, symbolizing resilience in the face of environmental and societal turmoil.
