Wind

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. This storytelling approach is grounded in multifigure / multitopic Persian miniatures from Shahnameh (the famous Persian epic by Ferdowsi). To move away from a linear narrative structure, the film presents four stories, each depicting a distinct period of historical hardship in Iran as seen through the perspectives of modern Iranians. These stories are interwoven with the myth of the Homa – a bird of fortune that dies, heralding mysterious wind that sweep everything away. The wind functions as a symbol of time, marking the inevitable end of all things.
