This 2D animated short film tells the story of an artist who begins to lose all his creative work and professional opportunities. Struggling with rejection and isolation, he finds himself at a breaking point — until he comes across a mysterious book about Iranian culture and art that changes everything.
The film explores themes of loss, renewal, and the transformative power of knowledge. Through expressive hand-drawn animation and minimal dialogue, Be Immortal reflects on how a single moment of insight — inspired by the rich heritage of Iranian culture — can revive a fading spirit.
