Mandala

MANDALA is a three-character psychological drama set within a single minimalist, surreal location. A challenging cinematic form — its focus rests entirely on the depth of performance, dramatic tension, and the dynamic of its script.

"A story of people who appear to be alive and breathing, but have long been considered dead inside."

The film places its hand on a sensitive nerve of individual psychology: the story of people who, upon losing their greatest dream, hope, and the very measure of their existence, arrive at this point of collapse and inner death.

The convergence of the writer-director's ethics-driven thinking with his background as a legal scholar and author of personal development books — his precise, structured, justice-oriented perspective — has been injected directly into the cinematic language of MANDALA, creating an atmosphere that is deeply compelling, layered, and distinctly original.

Focusing on the complex layers of the human mind, MANDALA renders a psychological narrative that touches on a profound concept of human psychic life. The film was produced with a highly professional crew and experienced figures from Iranian cinema, aimed from the outset at international festival participation.
