这是一部伟大的电影纪录片，拍摄于1962年, 发行于1963年，出自伊朗历史上最伟大的女诗人，哲学家及电影导演 Forugh Farrokhzad。这是她唯一传世的电影作品！是世界纪录片史中难得一见的奇葩。
此片虽然只有短短20分钟，但影片忠实纪录了伊朗一个麻风村里所有的村民的生活点滴，他们她们由于麻风病而变得相貌丑陋，但他们她们却从未放弃生活， Forugh Farrokhzad用自己手中的摄影机，用质朴感人，优美简洁的黑白影像告诉我们丑陋并不是一种障碍，只要我们别放弃生活。
人民爱戴而又有争议性的女诗人Forugh Farrokhzad 去了阿塞拜疆，拍摄了这部短片。 在Farrokhzad 以一种悲伤的低调诵读她自己的诗歌的同时，影片阴郁地展现了管弦乐下的失落村庄。 五年后, 在她已经在伊朗的写作文坛上建立了几乎传奇式的地位时,她在一次车祸中丧生，时年32岁, 从而成为以后几代愤怒波斯妇女们的女权主义的试金石。

When the Shah-era Ministry of Culture asked Ebrahim Golestan for a documentary on Iran’s crown jewels, they didn’t expect an acidic indictment of the regime’s politics. Previously released only in a diluted version, this vanguard masterpiece can now be seen for the first time in its unexpurgated original version.
Ebrahim GOLESTAN (1922, Iran) grew up in a well-to-do family. He founded his own film studio, Golestan Films, in 1957. After meeting the controversial Iranian artist Forugh Farrokhzadher in 1958, he became a close associate hers. Inspired by her to pursue his own artistic vision, he began directing his own short documentaries. In 1965 he released his first feature, BRICK AND MIRROR. His second feature, THE SECRETS OF THE TREASURE OF THE FINN VALLEY (1974), would prove to be his last film: Golestan left Iran in 1975, settling in the United Kingdom and focusing completely on his writing.
