In "Houri," Shahed returns to Tehran three years post-Revolution, confronting his father's ghost and the betrayal of his childhood. Amid the brutal realities of militant fundamentalism, he reminisces about the vibrant past filled with his father's exploits and the colorful figures from his youth. As he grapples with memories of family and the stark contrasts between his homeland's history and its current desolation, the story unfolds a universal narrative of the complex relationship between a father and son against the backdrop of Iran's turbulent transformation.
