Gav Khuni (2003)

Gav Khuni plot

An unnamed first-person narrator reads off-screen the story of his childhood in his hometown of Isfahan and his relationship with his wayward father, a well-known tailor. However, the main role is played by the river, the Zayandehrood, which flows through beautiful Isfahan, the river in which his father, much to his mother's dismay, bathed every day. The first-person narrator himself only appears in the second half of the film: a restless, but passive, unsympathetic twenty-something who swings back and forth between his hometown of Isfahan and anonymous Tehran. He married his cousin on a whim, who took over his deceased father's shop, only to leave her just as suddenly after a short time and to retire to an apartment with friends in the capital. Obsessed with the memory of his father, he writes his story in which dreams and memories become intertwined. And again and again the river returns, a river that strangely enough does not lead to the sea, but ends in a frightening, menacing swamp.
