The film comprises pre-revolutionary Iranian TV commercials of Western commodities, Iranian 1960s psychedelic rock music, pirated tapes of American 1980s pop music videos distributed as contraband in post-revolutionary Iran, and home videos. Through its anagrammatical title and anachronistic structure, it creates a fragmented, cross-generational narrative of the Iranian diaspora through moments of collective loss, longing and violent disruption. A central question to this experimental video is how the notion of pleasure is shaped through imperial, military and state violence.
