- Synopsis
- The Iranian government discovers an oil well abandoned for years in the Iran-Iraq border. A young Iranian soldier, Ashkan, is sent to ensure the well for 30 days with the mission to hide it’s existence and to verify the economic potential. In this no man′s land he meets a beautiful woman, Roozine, who comes to steal the Iraqi oil. Despite their divergence, an intimate relationship develops between them until reality catches up.
- Director's Note
- Obviously, oil plays an important role in the Middle East nowadays. It is very important to governments and they fight over it. I want to say that this important and valuable thing can become cheap, when it is compared to love and communications between people. Even in the hardest conditions, showing the true worth of human being counts more than the value of oil. Everyone is able to live in peace with one another, whether they be Iranian, Iraqi, American, European or from some other nationality.
