Summary:
"As a renowned author, Mahmoud feels pressure to compose his next great novel, but he is suffering from writer's block. He harkens back to a happier time when he was a shy, awkward 11-year-old on his family's lush estate in Tehran. He recalls his 14-year-old cousin, a tomboy who is nonetheless a ravishing beauty. She revels in the power that she has over him. That adolescent girl of long ago (or memory of her) becomes the muse that inspires him. The film opens in a dark and drab contemporary setting but comes alive with light and color when Mahmoud remembers his childhood from the late 1940s - a time of respite for Iran before the political crises of the 1950s. Controversial filmmaker Dariush Mehrjui (The Cow; Santouri) offers a haunting, autobiographical account of childhood that reminds us all of the power of memory."--Container.
