Description
āFarajā is a Farsi word meaning an opening, a blessing, a space of possibility.
Äbtin journeys for a whole year, across deserts and mountains to the sea. The young Zoroastrian hopes to come to terms with his harsh father and his own ambivalence about the art of carpet weaving. He dreams of MitrÄ, a Muslim girl who waits for him back home, gathering medicinal plants in the barren lands, struggling with her familyās pressure to marry and a strangerās accusations of sorcery. Once reunited, Äbtin and MitrÄ realize that both of their religions will forbid their marriage. Gossip is rampant and persecution of Zoroastrians is on the rise.
Faraj: A Space of Possibility is set amidst the mud-brick houses, wind towers, and tiled mosques of 17th century Yazdāa crossroads on the Silk Road. We follow Äbtin and MitrÄ as they work to reconcile their communities, often at risk to themselves. Together they experience mysticism, danger, and the ups and downs of young love. Gaining confidence in their callings as carpet weaver and healer, Äbtin and MitrÄ search for a way to be together.
They yearn for a space of possibility ā faraj.
