Overview

Fourteen centuries after the first Arab invasion, Persian national identity and collective memory remain buried beneath the rule of twenty-eight different dynasties, including the Mongols and Tamerlane. Every attempt to reclaim the nation's soul is crushed. Just as hope begins to stir, a second Arab invasion brings renewed devastation. In a realm beyond the visible world, a Persian unborn child - bearer of the nation's untainted collective unconscious - hesitates to be born, entangled in his own umbilical cord. From the depths of the unconscious, he rises to lead The Army of Ancient Spirits. Legendary idols, war heroes, righteous kings, poets, writers, and countless innocent souls unite in a timeless battle to restore a forgotten identity. A journey aboard the legendary bird, Simurgh, unfolds across two and a half millennia of Persian history - narrated by a pure being: a child still in the womb.
