A passionate declaration of love for the cinema and poetry of Iran, which also offers a frank view of the precarious situation for critics of the regime and shows the uncompromising daily struggle of Iranian women against their oppression.

Rahmat travels to a host of islands in a vast salt pan in order to collect the inhabitant's tears for an unknown purpose. He is joined on his mysterious journey by a young boy searching for his father. As their travel nears its end, a potent critique of Iran's political leadership emerges.

Six urban women reveal their family recipes in a film that, at first glance, may look like an introduction to local cuisine, but which turns into a surprising exploration of relationships in modern Iranian society.

The film criticizes film festivals in totalitarian regimes with a parodic expression and reminds the important point that art should be in Stand against the power and always be a reformer and a fighter. The character of this film, played by Mohammad Shirvani, is called "Peel", a creature with a human body and a camera-like head. Peel, along with a seahorse, a blind mouse and a bat, are assigned to the largest egg on the planet, which belongs to a legendary bird. The name is "Simorgh", an egg that a film festival called Fajr claims to have. The film "Zygote" tries to expose the mechanism of government festivals with a political approach.
