Frontier Blues (2009)

Frontier Blues plot

Frontier Blues is set in northern Iraq, on the border with Turkmenistan, where director Babak Jalali was born. The area is interesting not only for its beautiful, desolate landscape, but also for its multi-ethnic population of Persians, Turkmen and Kazakhs. In four intertwined stories, the film shows fragments from everyday life. It is a story of desperate men and absent women, a story of longing, waiting, remembering. Alam is a 28-year-old Turkmen who lives with his father and works in a chicken farm. He learns English in order to marry Ana and take her to Baku. The 28-year-old Persian Hassan lives with his uncle; his only company is a donkey and a tape recorder. His uncle owns a clothing store, but the clothes he tries to sell never fit. A 55-year-old Turkmen minstrel, whose wife was kidnapped years ago by a shepherd, is the subject of a photo book by a photographer from Tehran.
