Director's Statement
Why would one dream about an old love affair, diving into memories of events that occurred thirty years ago, in a faraway and exotic land? For the great flow of history never stops. A ripple on the distant horizon becomes a wave. Iranians now fighting for democracy are a reverberation from a revolution now thirty years old, in which the Imams overturned the Shah. At the sight of Teheran in turmoil, my mind was flooded with visions of the woman who drew me into an earlier emotional and political maelstrom: Jasmin. After over half a century on earth, I have an impressive number of films to my name. My first animated films were made while I was in love with Jasmin. At the present moment, I want to compose an autobiographical film in which every detail is a magnificent jewel, in a gift to a woman without whom the story would not exist.
