The sirens
پری آبادان
DIRECTED BY: Sepideh Farsi
In the oil hub of Abadan, 1980, 14-year-old Omid’s football game shatters when an Iraqi missile strikes a nearby refinery, plunging the city into turmoil. Omid’s brother joins the frontline, and as chaos ensues, his family prepares to flee. Yet, Omid, too young to take up arms, stays with his grandfather and becomes a provider for fellow survivors, determined to find his brother and escape the encircled city.
Hailed internationally for its meticulous storytelling as well as its powerful and minimalistic animation, THE SIREN sheds light on one of the darkest eras of war in the Middle East through a young boy’s quest for survival and his determination to help all the victims of war who are now compelled to redefine their futures in ways they have not imagined before..
