    • Synopsis
    • Inspired by one of the most significant Iranian books of the twentieth century written by one of the greatest Iranian writers of the twentieth century, a two-part story of an isolated man who has a fragile relationship with time and reality. Dark and brooding, time-bending, non-linear; the film will follow a storyline that circularly winds its way down the rabbit hole of its protagonist's psychological descent to madness.

    • WME and CAA will arrange finance and handle sales and distribution.
