Conquest of the Garden
Conquest of the Garden is the suspended voyage of two small metatemporal superheroes. Their superpowers are curiosity and love. They observe and they are observed while travelling on balloons, dinosaurs and giant dragonflies.
Their adventurous expedition happens to be
in Iran, but it could be anywhere grace of life is revealed. The title is taken from the poem
of the Iranian poetess Forugh Farrokhzad.
