Hemo is a musician who has embarked on a journey to Iran by train in order to
have his old Persian string instrument repaired. The film accompanies him and
his santoor, documenting the interesting, contradictory and entertaining reality
of the stretch from Istanbul to Teheran. An interweaving of Hemo’s impressions
of his first trip to Iran with the opinions of his fellow travellers and the
railway staff, as well as Iranian television propaganda. The result is a complex
collage - highlighted with Anatolian santoor music - in which freedom, religion,
travel and Iranian-Turkish stereotypes are made the central theme.
