Darling of Abyaneh
Abianeh is a historical and ancient village in Iran where time has stood still and its people are as old as the place itself. Two years ago, Filmmaker Zohreh Shayesteh visited the village and took pictures of its women. She returned in 2006 with a video camera. While searching for the women in the photos she met" keshvar" a blunt and feisty woman who became the physical and spiritual guide for the filmmaker in this journey of self-discovery. Thanks to Keshvar and the unexpected friendship that developed between these two women, what was to be a simple video documentary about a village and its people becomes a spiritual journey to a place the filmmaker once called home.

I went to Abianeh 2 years
by azadi55 (not verified) on Wed May 14, 2008 10:46 PM CDTI went to Abianeh 2 years ago, it's close to Kashan, and close to the infamous nuclear plant in that region. most houses over there are made from the local soil, which is red. Even the mountains have a reddish color. So the whole place has a very unique look to it. I recommend it for those people who want to go sightseeing.
I love these kinds of documentaries!
