Chimeras

Hans Roosli, a young Swiss journalist on his

first assignment a broad, comes to Iran in

October, 1971, to cover the Shah’s celebration

of 2,500 years of the nation’s monarchy: an occasion that

triggers events leading to the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

There he meets a thirteen year-old girl of privilege, Donya,

whose growing fascination for him impels him to return to

cover the revolution until his arrest and imprisonment. One

his release six years later, she is nowhere to be found.

The tale of his subsequent search for Donya is an

odyssey that takes Hans around the globe until, decades

later, they are finally reunited under strange and unexpected circumstances.
