SILENCE OF HOMA
Amid social unrest, Rap-Farsi artist Homa struggles in the studio, unable to create a song. Collective pressure and accusations of being a regime sympathizer heighten her frustration, until a bird-human Djinn appears.
*Homã, is a mythical bird from Asian-Iranian legends, a common motif in poetry that never lands on the ground. In some myths Homã is seen as a phoenix that every now and then consumes itself in fire, only to rise again from the ashes.
