The Path Taken (2005)

The representative delegation of the France's Avignon Festival travels to Iran to see a traditional cultural play called "Ta'ziyeh" which is presented only in Iran, in order to prepare a documentary film about the preparatory stages. On the third day of preparations, the hero of the play gets lost. The participants in the play are thinking about traveling to Europe to search for another actor for that part, but find nobody because the actor must have certain specific characteristics, which makes the choice extremely difficult. The producers of the play set out a journey in search for the hero in order for his presence at the festival and participation in the performance of Ta'ziyeh not to fail.
