Hitchhiking to India. That was the plan. But then everything turns out differently…
Suddenly, all borders close in Iran: COVID. Simon is stranded. What was planned as 30 days turns into over nine unforgettable months in one of the most fascinating countries in the world.
He learns Persian, volunteers with an aid organization, and immerses himself in a society full of contradictions. He camps in parks, ends up in the homes of strangers who become friends – and spends a night in jail ... Nearly 20,000 kilometers hitchhiking – a journey that changes him from within. At a time when borders were closing down, a completely new world opens up for him.

Admission: €10
Tickets available at the door or on the adult education center (VHS) website.
