The Resurrection

- An Elegy on the Loss of a Perfect Man !

In the 7th century, the grandsons of the last prophet, his family and men were killed in the plain of Karbala, now a city in today Iraq. This tragic event has been etched on the minds of Shiah Muslims and every year they commemorate the martyrdom of their third Imam along with his family and men all over the world. This film is monologue of a modern Shiah Muslim who finds himself centuries away from his Imam and the event of Karbala and wishes he could accompany and defend him to his last against his sworn enemies. Inspired by the event of Karbala, this film tries to delve deep into some universal concepts such like love, loyalty and humanity through a poetic perspective.
