A Dragon Arrives!

On January 22, 1965, the day before the Iranian prime minister is assassinated, a car pulls up to a rusting shipwreck. Inside, a banished political prisoner has hanged himself, and the walls around him are covered in diary entries, literary quotes and strange symbols. Mani Haghighi builds the film from the evidence found fifty years later, tape recordings and a box of papers, and lets it unspool as an investigation that keeps folding back on itself.
