Synopsis
Filmed in Sistan province introduces Hamidreza Avishi, a sculpture. Through his sculptures we view the far away and unknown culture and art of Sistan. The movie is filled with images of burning sunlight, vast deserts, and stories of Shahnameh, a 30,000 line epic poem written by Ferdowsi over ten centuries ago. We travel to Zabol, the birthplace of Rostam and visit other heroes and heroines of Persian mythology. Through Avishi’s iron-strong figures we find the mysterious nature of Sistan.
