THE FILM STORY

From perfect images to seeing people.

In the near-future city of Ayeneh, memories are edited for comfort. Arin creates those images until he discovers a person’s pain removed from one of his frames. Across nine acts, he travels with Aftab, a wandering musician who offers companionship rather than answers. By seeing others, releasing control and acting for his community, Arin discovers love in ordinary life. The divine is never embodied as a person or object; the question of faith and arrival remains open in his actions and gaze.

The journey freely reimagines Attar’s seven valleys and the transformative encounter in the Rumi–Shams tradition. Its story and characters are original fiction.

Arin · protagonist

A young image maker skilled at perfect illusions. His journey takes him from controlling frames to attending to people.

Aftab · companion

A travelling musician who invites Arin to experience the world through questions and silence.

Ayeneh · the city

A near-future city where curated memories and spectacles are seen more readily than reality.

NINE ACTS, ONE TRANSFORMATION

A new way of seeing, each time.

From the first fracture to the return, a contemporary journey through seeking, love, insight, release, connection, wonder and selflessness.

The nine images are AI-generated concept art, not frames from a finished film.
