An epistolary feature film: a cinematic discourse between British filmmaker and writer Mark Cousins and Iranian actress, artist and director Mania Akbari, which extends the concept of "essay film" with startling confrontations in the arenas of cultural issues, gender politics and differing artistic sensibilities. A unique journey into the minds of two exceptional filmmakers which becomes a love affair on film. A Hibrow Production coming soon to http://www.hibrow.tv
