The Siren

1980, Abadan. The capital of the Iranian oil industry is resisting an Iraqi siege. Fourteen-year-old Omid has braved the siege and stayed in the city with his grandfather, waiting for his elder brother to return from the frontline. Along with Omid, a gallery of unusual characters have all remained in the city for their own reasons, and each resists in his or her own way. But the noose is tightening as Omid tries to save his loved ones.

I design all the art direction of The Siren, the animated feature film in progress, directed by Sepideh Farsi. The film is produced by Les Films d’Ici / Sébastien Onomo.
