Hollywood often condemns Iran as a country of terrorists, however the Iran that we see in their cinema is peaceful, beautiful and philosophical. A land endlessly tormented by war and conflict, yet the Kurds who live there are simple and warm. One day, medical school student, Horam leaves for war zone, Boonan. His girlfriend, Khazar cannot figure out why he had to leave, but her sadness drives her all the way to Boonan to find him. The steep mountains she climbs and the hills she treks over is a place where the bittersweet legends of the Kurds and their struggle for independence co-exist. And through this, Khazar comes to understand the lives and deaths of the people of this land, and why Horam had to fight. Following in the footsteps of his countrymen who have become worldwide figures in world cinema such as Kiarostami and Makhmalbaf, Farhad Mehranfar once again opens the horizon of Iranian cinema. The mystical The Legend of Love, is another poetic Iranian film dealing with the theme of ′road,′ but one that is more political and experimental than its predecessors. (Yu Hyun-Mi)
