Reza (35), having distanced himself
from the urban quagmire, leads a
simple life along with his wife and sole
child, somewhere in a remote village
in Northern Iran. A private company
with close links to the government and
local authorities, has taken control of
nearly every aspect of the regional life.
Its shareholders, accumulating wealth,
power and economic rents, have been
pushing local farmers and small owners
to dilapidate their belongings, farms and
estates, to the benefit of the Company’s
influential network. It is under their
pressure that many villagers have
themselves become local rings of the
larger network of corruption. Meanwhile,
Reza strives to resist coercion and
preserve his farm.
