Twin brothers Bahram and Bahman Ark’s contribution to the evolving genre of Iranian horror movies is steeped in traditional Persian folklore and music. In it, Araz, a young man, seeks to marry his true love, but his mother, a sorceress, has cast a spell to keep him with her. The closer he gets to his beloved, the weaker his mother becomes. He seeks to break the spell with the help of an itinerant musician and a mysterious recluse with access to the spirit world.
