Ardeshir Mohassess (1938-2008), was Iran’s foremost political cartoonist, satirist, painter, and illustrator. Drawing upon his intimate knowledge of Iran’s culture, history, and sociopolitical situation, Ardeshir attracted the attention of not only the intellectuals, poets, and writers of Iran of the time but also the international community.

The filmmaker seeks to portray the beauty of Ardeshir’s purpose and power in crafting his art to convey the plight of the oppressed and his universal sense of justice and tyranny expressed visually.
