In neun Episoden erzählt der in Cannes uraufgeführte Film von so profanen wie unfassbaren Begegnungen mit einer allgegenwärtigen Bürokratie und ihrer Kontrollmacht. Wenn Lichter und Irrlichter über dem geschäftigen Teheran in der Morgendämmerung zu blinken beginnen, ist der Auftakt gemacht für neue Strophen alltäglichen Irrsinns, der sich in Form absurder Alltagsregeln ins Leben der Menschen drängt. Da möchte Vater Staat nicht nur ein Wörtchen mitreden bei der Namenswahl für Neugeborene. Auch in Modefragen und für politisch motivierte Hundeentführungen wird der Beamte hinter dem Schalter zum besten aller möglichen Berater. Es ist ein leise, aber beharrlich auftretender Zirkus, der jede noch so verwegene Logik mit staatsdienlichem Eifer verteidigt.
"This piece, with the generic title Film, is a series of short videos built around one protocol: a snippet of news from a newspaper of the day, is rolled up and then placed on a black-inked surface. On making contact with the liquid, the roll opens and of Its own accord frees itself of the gesture that fashioned it. As it comes alive in this way, the sliver of paper reveals Its hitherto unexposed content; this unpredictable kinematics is evidence of the constant impermanence of news. As well as exploring a certain archaeology of cinema, the mechanism references the passage of time: the ink, whether it is poured or printed, is the ink of ongoing human history." –Ismaïl Bahri
Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
