In nine episodes, IRDISH VERSE, which premiered in Cannes, tells of encounters with an omnipresent bureaucracy and its power of control that are as profane as they are incomprehensible. When lights and will-o'-the-wisps begin to twinkle above bustling Tehran at dawn, the prelude is made for new verses of everyday madness that force their way into people's lives in the form of absurd everyday rules. Father State doesn't just want to have a say in the choice of names for newborns. The civil servant behind the counter also becomes the best possible advisor on fashion issues and politically motivated dog kidnappings. It is a quiet but persistent circus that defends every logic, no matter how audacious, with a zeal that serves the state.
