A mosaic of stories explore Iranian modernity. Following a Persian literary model, personal dilemmas, fanciful speculations and historical motifs follow one another, establishing evocative correspondences between them. From the commitment with which the characters narrate events, it is clear that, beyond history, human time corresponds to myth and anecdote: mythological birds, misregistered surnames, scars from chemical weapons, and memories of deceased women.
