Gozaran - Time Passing (2011)

Gozaran - Time Passing plot

In 2005, Iranian composer Nader Mashayekhi is asked to lead the Tehran Symphony Orchestra. Since the position of Western classical and contemporary music under the Islamic regime in Iran is not very strong, he knows it will be a tough task. But he accepts the challenge and leaves for his native country after years of studying, living and working in Vienna. As he says: "with a suitcase with only one thing in it: my dream to make music in my hometown". Barely two years later, he is back, with the debris of his dream in his suitcase. Filmmaker Frank Scheffer follows the passionate composer at rehearsals with the young musicians in Tehran, walking through a desolate desert landscape and an abandoned village, in search of inspiration for new compositions and challenging performances, and in Vienna as he looks back on his time in Iran. Political entanglements are only implicitly incorporated into the film.
