Overview
A poetic documentary following the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas’s journey through Iran in 1951 on a film assignment for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Constructed almost entirely from archival photographic images and Dylan Thomas's lyrical reflections (performed in voiceover by Michael Sheen), the film captures the poet's haunting vision of oil and modernity in 1950s Iran, as it stands at the precipice of political turmoil.
