Using the intricacies and traditional structure of a Shiite Muslim religious sermon, this short animated film revisits the idea of traditional religious sermon through a monologue delivered by an animated character. The monologue deconstructs the traditional text and its content with contemporary issues and asks if we can fully narrate an alternative history of the present for our future generations.
