The Death Story of Sohrab

Original title: مرگ نامهء سهراب

“An experimental film Rostam and Sohrab from the stories of Shahnameh Ferdowsi.”

Directed by Farshad Ahmadi Dastgerdi

A minstrel named Kamous is standing before Rostam. One out of many stories he has recited for people is: What befell Sohrab with Rostam. Rostam believes that the story the minstrel is narrating-- the Tragedy of Sohrab, is inverted, gone astray and wrongful. And he questions the minstrel "why?" Here, with Rostam questioning the minstrel another story begins which is the opening of our narrative.
