Plot

A legendary tale told as a trial.

Sinekatalog’s take

Bahram Beyzaie's masterpiece stages the legend of the last Sassanid king's death as a trial in a mill, with each witness telling a different story. Theatrical and brilliantly structured, it is a deep Iranian reflection on truth and power.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
