Qalādah-yi Qirmiz: Persiska (Farsi) 1403

In a small town in Berry, crushed by the summer heat, in 1919, a war hero is held prisoner in the depths of a deserted barracks. In front of the door, his battered dog barks day and night. Not far from there, in the countryside, a young woman worn out by working the land, too educated however to be a simple peasant, waits and hopes. The judge who arrives to unravel this affair is an aristocrat whose principles have been shaken by the war. Three characters and, in their midst, a dog, who holds the key to the drama... Full of poetry and life, this short story, of dazzling simplicity, is also a great novel about loyalty. Being loyal to your friends, fighting for those you love, is a quality that we share with animals. Isn't it the characteristic of human beings to go beyond and to be able to also recognize the brother in the one who fights you?
