With mesmerizing cinematography, this film examines a single Iranian man's journey (or are there three men?) through a complex warping and weaving of time and space. In front of a faceless building, a man boards a plain bus at a featureless stop. As the bus pulls up beside a man and woman in an adjacent car, disconnected images connect the three through a hazy, nightmarish history. Along the way, we witness the decay of an old man as premonitions of death flicker in and out of his daily rituals. His routine brings us once more back to a featureless bus stop with another (or is it the same?) bus, and we follow it back to our origin. Director Moussavi draws upon his background in painting to create this poetic and complex illustration of Iranian life, art and relationships.

Director Kianoosh Ayari's story of human tragedy and survival begins with a devastating earthquake that hits a town and nearby village without warning. He works with only two professional actors and some survivors of the December 26, 2003 earthquake that devastated the 2,000-year-old southern Iranian city of Bam, leaving 43,000 dead, 20,000 injured and 60,000 homeless. His drama, working with documentary immediacy, recreates all the horror and loss and confusion, and also the extraordinary courage, compassion and self-sacrifice that surface at the time of a natural disaster. A woman finds herself a lone survivor of her village, and moves toward Bam. Of the many inhabitants there who are scrambling to extract their friends and loved ones from the rubble, one man whom the quake has released from the confines of his prison cell tries to locate his now unrecognizable house to find his wife, mother, and daughter Arezoo. Like so many other survivors, he must face the terrible possibility that his family is gone. Both dazed, woman teacher and agonized prisoner turn to the work of rescue and recovery.

The Wind Game is about love, death and a spiritual quest for a homeland. A young man is searching for his father, and encounters a man who relates a story to him. The young man then has a visionary dream that he writes down in a letter to his old friend, an elderly Poet in Austria. While reading the letter, the Poet is inspired to continue his unfinished work, and his creative process begins. The dream sequence begins in the citadel of Bam, which was the oldest clay brick city in the world, Bam was all but destroyed in an earthquake in Dec. 2003. The dialogue combines the poetry of Persian poets Rumi, Hafez, and Omar Khayyam with lines from well-known Austrian poet and writer H.C. Artmann. Artmann plays the lead role, and was a major collaborator on the film. One of the major metaphors in the film is the clay brick, which is not only used by Omar Khayyam in his poetry, but is seen in many culturally significant locations of Iran. The clay brick in this film is a metaphor for the human soul. Awards: Jury Prize and Best Director at OMID Film Festival Iran on 2002.
