Masterly photography, precise editing, and a remarkable performance by Khosrow Shakibai in the leading role...." -- Houshang Golmakani, Cinema

Mehrjui describes HAMOON's "hero" as a "typical Iranian intellectual, caught in an emotional crisis...an embodiment of the collective consciousness of all those who are in crucial transition." During one day in the fraying life of Hamid Hamoon, we discover his much-loved wife is trying to divorce him, he can't quite come to any conclusions in his dissertation on the nature of love and faith, and neither flashbacks nor nightmares lend any clarity to his state of mind or soul. Hamoon is contemporary man, spindrift in a cultural whirlpool of art, religion, technology, his head a jumble of Old Testament stories, Kierkegaardian and Zen philosophy, folk wisdom, mysticism, abstract art, and more.
