The story in brief

Damaged banknotes send the security services hunting for a conspiracy that exists only in their own interpretation.

About the project

A man who earns his living with an air rifle takes aim at the Shah’s portrait on banknotes at home. When the altered notes circulate, investigators mistake a private gesture for organised subversion. The film turns that gap between a small reality and a grand official narrative into dark satire.
