"The Legend of A Sigh" is a fantastical story which explores the hardships and strengths of women in Iran. Based on the mythology of Azerbaijan, it begins when a woman accidentally summons a mystical being with the power of her sigh. The being then shows her the lives of four women from different social backgrounds, each of whom are far worse off than her but remain strong nonetheless. Can she draw strength from their stories, and be healed by the magical being inside the sigh? An almost Dickensian tale of magic and strength in the face of adversity.—IMVBox.com
