Project Description
Ashkan, The Charmed Ring & Other Stories
Sydney Premiere | 2012
Synopsis
his film crosses five interlocking stories: A police officer who is unhappily in love with a cashier, a sculptor who dreams of emigrating, a young man who constantly tries to commit suicide, and, in the midst of it all, two blind jewellery thieves, who are about to make the heist of their lives. The various threads of the narrative cross each other in unexpected ways, but all the pieces of the puzzle fall into exactly the right place.
