The Moonlit Rose of Isfahan

Isfahan, 1980. Newlyweds Reza and Zahra have been married just three weeks when Saddam Hussein's invasion tears them apart. Reza, a poet who dreams in Hafez's verses, is drafted to Iran's frontlines. Zahra transforms waiting into resistance—reading his letters, tending their garden, keeping their love alive through eight years of war. When the 1988 ceasefire comes, Reza returns a ghost. Zahra is no longer an innocent bride but a woman forged by solitude. In their jasmine-scented garden, they face their hardest battle: learning to love each other again. An epic testament to love's power to endure, heal, and bloom.
