Using the latest revolt in Iran as a launching pad and as a central focus, this film explores ideas of collectivity, authority, patriarchy, memory and repetition through a re-assessment or deconstruction of Iran's modern history and the images used to construct it. Connecting and disconnecting the images and the moments of a revolutionary consciousness, the film thinks through cinema and the use of the moving image as an obsession with a certain version of modernity and revolution as well.
