A music video for Mina Deris: a woman comes home to Khuzestan with one suitcase, and halfway there, the train freezes.
A woman returns home to Khuzestan with one suitcase. On the way the train freezes; then the ice melts and she arrives: the market, the dhows, the reeds. Nothing is invented. The film follows the lyrics line by line, so a viewer who does not speak Arabic still understands the song.
Everything is real and quiet except the frozen train. It lands exactly on the song’s instrumental break, where the voice stops, and turns the cold of exile into one image. In a region where summer reaches fifty degrees, ice can only be inner.
Mina’s performance is real throughout. Thirty-seven shots combine her filmed performance with AI-generated plates, composited and graded to one filmic look, and mastered in 4K.
