Rangeh Eshgh plot

"What are the politics of love in Iran?"

One week a year, around Ashura, all Iranians stay outside the home. Women ignore the local curfew. Men cry. Communities come together to mourn the death of their saint, ask for wishes to come true, and give thanks for prayers that have been answered.
