Director Massoud Bakhshi is on a mission to make a film about his hometown, Tehran, but has hit a wall and must explain to the Documentary Film Center why the film will never be completed. He and his crew decide to investigate the city's past in order to better understand the reason for their predicament. What follows is a sarcastic and comic narrative about Tehran's transformation from a small village into a megapolis of increasing urban mess, pollution, inadequate housing, class gaps and the fatal destiny of its delicious pomegranates.

The screening is presented as part of the Islam Today Film Festival: Stories from the Muslim World organized by the Center for South Asia Studies, the Center for Southeast Asia Studies and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies.
