On November 4, 1979, the American embassy in Iran was captured by students. In an action, America blocks Iran's money in global banks and forms the first economic sanction against Iran. The students are trying to return the property of their country by taking the embassy ambassadors hostage. America is planning a military attack to free its people, but this operation will fail in the Tabas desert. In the end, America will return only some of the money to release its ambassadors by setting up a contract.

The Seed of Hope
Iranian teenagers have different judgments about Iran. A group of female students get to know a knowledge-based company during a field trip. After this scientific tour, they talk about the effects of this tour on their own thoughts.
Calino courtier en paratonnerres
Calino goes politely around to three or four people from the bourgeois class, trying to sell them a lightning rod: but due to a factory defect, the apparatus attracts lightning instead of driving it away.
Mist
Silence dominates the work, as does the screen rectangle, which cuts off the “image” from a life time-space continuum and imposes upon the image its particular character. Within it, there is a play between tonalities, textures, large and small shapes.
Life of a Mutt
Through seven scenes, the film follows the life and destinies of stray dogs from the margins of our society, leading us to reconsider our attitude towards them. Through the seven “wandering” characters that we follow at different ages, from birth to old age, we witness their dignified struggle for survival. At the cemetery, in an abandoned factory, in an asylum, in a landfill, in places full of sorrow, our heroes search for love and togetherness. By combining documentary material, animation and acting interpretation of the thoughts of our heroes, we get to know lives between disappointment and hope, quite similar to ours.
