Synopse

Two outsiders in modern Iran encounter people who have been mistreated and changed by a corrupt, oppressive system. A stirring, yet touching road movie. Farid, nicknamed Achilles, is actually a film maker, but to survive works in the prosthetics department of a hospital. He is angry and frustrated about the economic and political situation. When he is called to the psychiatric department, he meets a young woman who has obviously been heavily sedated. Together, they flee – in the hope of finding the freedom their generation has never experienced.
