Starting from Paris, a little girl accompanies her mother – the filmmaker herself – to go to Iran, thus joining her grand-father and starting on a journey to Afghanistan, a country often dreamt of, but never visited since three generations, since her great grand-father left it to settle down in Iran.

Filming her daughter and her father – and being filmed on her turn by her eight-year-old-daughter, with a pocket camera – the filmmaker mingles her own vision with that of her daughter and thus makes a film diary, as the family album unfolds before the spectator.

“All the wells in the world are linked. A road deep in the earth joins them together. Like the links in a chain. You must search these wells to find one that brings you to the surface.
I have travelled the wells of the world. They are all full of men. Each of us is lost in a well; we must continue searching until we have found our fellow brethren there.”
Excerpt of “From well to well”
by Mohamad-Asef Soltanzadeh

Everything starts with the vision. The vision the others have from you, the appearance, and the vision you have of yourself, the being. The idea, in this filmed diary, is to find the border between these two visions through a journey.
