A forgotten worthy piece of picture that depicts the sad story of a penniless couple in the south of Iran, Hormozgan province. The man, a deckhand, protests against state control of persian gulf, collaborating with British colonialists and local elites, but he gets socially stigmatized as TAHRAN (badly possessed by an evil spirit). Tragically, her wife is forced to satisfy the spirit of the sea, in order to exorcise it from her beloved husband.

Symbolic and yet realistic. Professional cast and crew. And Unfortunately, the only film directed by Jamshid Malekpour, stage director and theater historian.

Persian-language (primarily Iranian) cinema is acclaimed for poetic allegory, moral depth, and inventive ways of navigating censorship. It often uses non-professional actors, minimalism and symbolism to explore moral dilemmas, social issues, and the human condition under political constraints.
