The Gardener -- A father and son travel to Israel to learn about a religion (Baha’i faith) that they don’t know much about due to its taboo status in the country of both the filmmakers’ and the faith’s birth – Iran. Mohsen Makhmalbaf, the father, follows a gardener who works at the Baha’i gardens to understand who he is and why he is there. Meanwhile his son Maysam rejects the concept of religion all together and goes out to Jerusalem where he comes across the sacred sites of Jews and Christians where he finds many similarities with the Islamic society he grew up in. Gabbeh -- A young woman torn between the traditions of her people and and the desire for her lover in this trailer
