Bab'Aziz
Inicia-se com a história de um dervish de nome Baba Aziz e sua neta espiritual, Ishtar. Juntos eles percorrem o deserto à procura de uma grande reunião de dervishes que ocorre uma vez a cada 30 anos. Tendo a fé como único guia, os dois viajam por vários dias pela imensidão. Para ajudar a suportar a viagem, Baba Aziz passa a contar histórias do príncipe do deserto que contemplava sua alma ao lado de uma pequena piscina. Conforme a história é contada, os viajantes encontram outros viajantes que também contam suas histórias. Repleto de imagens maravilhosas e uma música belíssima, Nacir Khemir criou uma fabula inédita e encantadora, filmada nas areias da Tunisia e do Irã.
Jamshid, the son of Abbas Sakhai, has been living abroad for a number of years. He sends a message for his family who then decide to make a film depicting their lives and send it to Jamshid. Omid, the younger son of the family, rents a video camera and records images of members of the family as they talk directly into the camera.
Hafez / Old man 2
Sohrab, a provincial young writer, is lost in the desert on the way to Tehran to get a publication license for his book on old Persian poetry, but the trip involves some bizarre events.
Bagher
Noted Iranian actress Susan Taslimi plays an impoverished single mother who agees to marry off her 13-year-old daughter to a middle-aged man in return for a mare, which will help her earn an income and provide for her younger children. Director Ali Zhekan paints a stark picture of poverty and patriarchy in rural Iran (the mother stores her rice in a container hidden in a tree; her brother, who brokered the wedding, mercilessly beats the recalcitrant child), but this 1986 film is distinguished mostly by Taslimi's increasingly fiery performance as the mother decides to defend her daughter's freedom.
Bahman's Uncle
Maryam, her friend Parvaneh who is a nurse and her cousin Morteza go on a leisure trip to the north of the country. In the hotel where they are staying, Parvaneh meets a rich young man named Bahman who has come to the north with his uncle and his cousin Sharareh.
