I Stared at the Night of the City

Iraqi Kurdistan at the turn of the 21st century is a territory ruled by strongmen, revolutionaries, fixers, bureaucrats and the 'Barons', who control everything from livestock and land to Kurdish cultural life. Defying the absolute power wielded by the Barons, a band of friends led by a poet embarks on an odyssey to find the bodies of two lovers killed unjustly by the authorities. The Barons respond by attempting to crush these would-be avengers, though their real war is waged against the imagination itself - despite the fact that imagination in its myriad forms is a prized, elusive commodity for which intellectuals, merchants, political elites and humble workers all search in one way or another. 'The Gardens of the Imagination' is a trip, in more ways than one: a tale of people travelling great distances in their minds or with their feet.

I Stared at the Night of the City is a trip, in more ways than one: a tale of extraordinary people travelling great distances, in their minds or with their feet.
