This film is based on a four page short
story by Golshiri, which together we expanded it into an 85 page script. It is the story of building a scare-crow in a village and how through
some events and superstition the scare-crow turns into a revered symbol.
The film has a double edge sword against tyranny and how metaphysical
symbols are created by people and how they are ruled by their own
creation. The film has the dubious honor of being banned both before and
after revolution. Although after revolution got a three day release but
was brought down by the censorship after three days. |
