A man, almost alone on stage, searches, finds, loses, forgets, rejects and ignores what he thought he always wanted to be. In this autobiographical script, Mani Soleymanlou traces his own journey from his birthplace in Iran to his current residence in Montreal, passing through Paris, Toronto and Ottawa. This journey leads the author to question the authenticity of his own Persian origins, which seem small and insignificant compared to the Persian youth currently living in Iran, who must fight daily for their liberty, their freedom of speech, their country and their lives.
