In Shiraz, tell me about the revolution? Farbod traverses the different worlds in which he grew up and randomly superimposes them on top of each other. He mercilessly dissects the two systems that made him who he is. He shows us the reality of government agencies that reduce him — and countless others — to pawns of structures. It becomes painful when his human enthusiasm clashes with the power structures’ attempt at objectivity.
