Synopsis

An elegant and autobiographical response to the constraints of censorship

Forced by the Iranian authorities to remove himself from the world, Ali Asgari enters a period of acute introspection. By raising questions about the nature of family, censorship, language, and memory, Asgari marshals his experience of house arrest to contemplate the role of the artist and the possibilities of cinema.An autobiographical essay film that approaches the genre of documentary with both lyricism and self-referentiality.

Made in Tehran across nine days of isolation, Asgari’s response to the constraints of government censorship is a sophisticated, monochromatic meditation on the nature of art.
