Sinopsis: An old man has been deprived of his job as a result of war and the poor economical conditions in his country. Having made traditional gold brocade all his life, he now has to do without his original material because it has become too expensive and has to resort to smuggling empty copper-gold-coloured tank bullet cartridges and fashioning them into thin wires. The film depicts the journey of these cartridges from army barracks to colourful Iranian dresses and traditional Iranian musical instruments.

Bio: Ali Kalantari is a screenwriter and filmmaker. He has made several independent short films and worked for television. His films include Hanging Jug, Top of the Mountain and Record.
