The Iranian poet and lawyer Afshin Ellian comments on the connection between eroticism and utopia, and hatred and hope, using fragments of films by Bergmann, the Russian cinema and the Iranian film Kandahar by the director Makhmalbaffs. His slogan is taken from Nietszche, which is: 'Those who fight against monsters must take care that they do not become a monster themselves. If you stare too long inside the abyss, then the abyss becomes part of you'.
