Description
In 1955 Tehran, celebrated tar musician Nasser Ali Khan loses the instrument that gives his life meaning—and finds no replacement capable of restoring its voice. Retreating to his bed, he withdraws from family, memory, and the pleasures of the world as he contemplates the end of his life. Over the course of eight haunting days, the story moves through love, artistic passion, regret, and the private myths that shape a person’s fate. With dark humor, visual elegance, and poignant emotional clarity, it explores how art and heartbreak can define—and distort—a life.
