Filmmaker David Diaan (Davoodian), an expatriate residing in Los Angeles , left his native Iran 24 years ago, unable to return due to the sudden and fierce changes that rocked Iran in 1979. However, motivated by a deep longing to visit his motherland and the recent easing up of tensions, he finally deemed it safe enough to pay a visit. Ready for a culture shock, yet haunted by fading memories of his childhood, Diaan filmed his journey with an adoring eye, eager to capture every moment.

Party Girl aziz, Talking
by Ye Irani (not verified) on Fri May 09, 2008 08:44 PM CDTParty Girl aziz,
Talking about culture shock, my 1s visit after 24years had the same effect on me. Everything looked so different. I thought I will be visiting a place that would remind me of my dream land. The people, city and social life is up-to-date and you feel like you're in NY city. For sure I felt a stranger when I had close encounter with people - They know we are stranges to the street-culture. The only aspect that still had the same taste was the eatery!
Cheers to all and Happy mothers day to all mothers!

Answer's at the end of clip
by Party Girl on Fri May 09, 2008 01:02 PM CDTSalam Abarmard. He might have! If you watch to the end, you will hear the philosopher/Attar say that you use this potion and wait two light years for it to work. So he, himself, might be waiting for the results! Did you just love the part where he quotes Nietsche?! Another Iranian to love. Awesome!
Have a good weekend.
Question
by Abarmard on Fri May 09, 2008 12:43 PM CDTWhy didn't he use the remedy himself?
