Summary:
"Blends satire with history to paint a portrait of the metropolis and its transformation into a mega[lo]polis of increasing urban mess, pollution, inadequate housing, class gaps, and the fatal destiny of its once delicious pomegranates. Aided by never before seen archival footage from the past 100 years and mock interviews with city officials, the film explains the complex life of Tehran's inhabitants as they live side by side [with] the past, begging the question of whether anything has changed at all" -- Container. An impressionistic & intentionally subjective history of Tehran, the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East. Focuses primarily on the 20th & 21st centuries, paying special attention to social inequalities therein.
