Location: Afifabad Garden or Eram Garden in Shiraz, with spring flowers and water-filled ponds. Characters: Hafez (the great poet of Shiraz), Cyrus the Great (Persian mythic figure), and Saadi (master of Persian literature). Story: In a dreamy garden with lush trees and the scent of orange blossoms, these three figures sit around a Ramadan spread with dates, zulbia bamieh (Persian sweets), ash reshteh (noodle soup), and fresh bread. Hafez recites a romantic ghazal and speaks of Shiraz as an earthly paradise, Cyrus talks about justice and peace, and Saadi shares a humorous and thoughtful tale from Golestan. The camera zooms in on the traditional spread and then transitions to an aerial view of Persepolis and Hafez’s tomb in Shiraz. Composition optimized for a 9:16 aspect ratio.
