过去将来进行时 Past Future Continuous

Maryam fled Iran at the age of twenty, wrapped in a sheepskin, hidden among a flock crossing the mountainous border between Iran and Turkey. The revolution had just triumphed, and her politically active friends were either imprisoned or executed. Her family decided to save her at any cost. She left Iran – and never returned. With the help of her friends, Maryam has installed surveillance cameras throughout her parents’ house; a flickering connection between her and the past displayed on a screen in her American home. When the internet in Iran cuts out, the images freeze or vanish, severing Maryam’s connection to her home. Past and present merge and blur. A poetic and poignant story of exile, memory, and the hidden ties with places we can no longer return to – places we can only visit through dreams, technology, and longing.
