Story

The USA in the near future – a country isolated, where even dreaming is no longer free. Shirin Neshat’s visually stunning portrait of a dystopia which may be nearer than we care to think. Simin (Sheila Vand), an Iranian American, works for the most important government office of the age, the Census Bureau. To understand and control the population better, the government has begun a programme to record the dreams of their citizens. Simin is one of the dream-catchers and travels with her bodyguard (Matt Dillon) across the country – torn between her mission and the sympathy she feels for those whose dreams she is documenting.
