Mahmud Dolatabadi is one of the best-known and most important prose writers of our time. Translations of his books reach a worldwide readership and yet some of his most important works are not allowed to be published in Iran. In her formally unusual documentary, Sara, his daughter, portrays the 83-year-old, who lives in seclusion in his apartment and garden outside Tehran and looks back on an eventful life of inner resistance.
Followed by a discussion with the filmmaker Sara Dolatabadi.
