Tall Shadows of the Wind
Based on a short story by Houshang Golshiri, this film centers on mysterious and chilling events that take place in a village.

Made at the end of the Shah’s reign, the film offers a metaphorical reflection on power relations — how people create their own idols who turn around to terrorize them.
