Plot Summary

'Iran Is My Land' documents the journey of Sohrab, an itinerant writer, whose latest work, a book of Iranian poetry, requires a permit from Iran's censors in order to be published.

As he ventures deeper into nature and immerses himself in his work, he encounters Persian poets from times long past, including the form of Saadi Shirazi, who provide comfort and guidance along his journey of inspiration.
