SYNOPSIS
Phobos is a poetic and experimental short documentary that transcends the fear of war and destruction. Bushehr on the Persian gulf builds a natural border to the sea. Mina Keshavarz grew up there. Her surrealistic picture of getting lost in a town known to her, looking for her home, family, and friends narrates her constant nightmare of an abandoned city.
