Hesam Hasanabadi

Midnight hour. Darkness looms in. In an empty street somewhere in the city, two or perhaps three men argue over some one's death and survival.

"Somewhere out of the time" is a free adaptation of a poem called "Punishment" by the famous Iranian poet, "Ahmad Shamlou". This film is the first filmmaking experience of Parham Sarkashiki, which was shown for the first time at the Rome Film Festival. The film is narrated in the 1950s in Tehran's "Qasr" prison, a very dangerous prison that is considered the most important prison in Iran. The film tells the story of a man who was sentenced to prison for the crime of seeking freedom.
