Once Upon a Time Abadan
Takes place in the early 2000s, during a period when the country's political situation is heavily influenced by the US military attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite the years that have passed since the end of the war, the shadow of fear and terror has once again reminded people of the dark days of the past. The plot revolves around New Year's Eve in a not-so-wealthy family living in Abadan. The father of the family is an addict and is desperate for drugs, which has disrupted the household atmosphere. However, the sudden occurrence of a catastrophic event changes everything, and the family realizes that in the short distance between life and death, they need each other more than ever.
