The Last Fiction

Based on classic Persian literature - "The Shahnameh," or "The Book of Kings," by the poet Ferdowsi - the animated "The Last Fiction" follows the twin stories of upstart ruler Zahak, who makes a treacherous rise to the throne in Jamkard (ancient Persia), and of young hero Afaridoun, who is fated to save the kingdom's people from the darkness. Zahak, who made a Faustian pact to seize the throne, is now haunted by his evil deeds, and his recent nightmares prophesy that a young man he wronged in the past will rise up against him. However, Afaridoun must first conquer his own inner demons before he can battle Zahak's dark forces and restore peace to the kingdom. "The Last Fiction" is the first animated feature made entirely in Iran.
