In the Oil Fields

This album consists of short, everyday tales of coastal dwellers in southern Iran. They are stories of hopes and dreams, of love, thirst and desire, fear, mourning, protest and migration. Many years ago, Iran's first oil well was dug in the place where these stories are set. Nowadays it's a rendezvous spot for lovers.
