In exile in Australia, a young Iranian writer crafts a poetic screenplay about banned author Houshang Golshiri, blending memory, fiction, and protest. As Arash—Golshiri’s imagined alter ego—comes to life, haunted by censorship, the writer is drawn into her own quiet rebellion. ECHOES is a lyrical, hybrid short that fuses literature, history, and political urgency into a defiant tribute to storytelling’s enduring power.
