A sweeping low-angle shot looking up at two ancient Persian architectural facades side by side — a mosaic-tiled mosque portal with a luminous blue-and-white muqarnas arch on the left and a worn mud-brick arched doorway…Extreme close-up of bare, dust-covered feet belonging to our solitary Iranian dervish-wanderer — the motif figure — standing perfectly still on ancient cobblestones exactly at the midpoint between two closed doors…A medium wide shot through a pointed Persian arch framing a luminous inner courtyard — three elegantly dressed Iranian figures (men in period woollen robes and kulah caps…)A three-quarter portrait of a dignified wanderer — weathered, serene Iranian face, simple patched khirqa, a kashkul gourd at his side — standing at a tall mosque gate of turquoise-tiled Persian brickwork…A medium shot of the same solitary dervish wanderer — motif figure, now from behind — standing at the entrance of a worn Persian caravanserai-style arched doorway (the tavern-of-the-soul), the door also closed…An intimate wide shot inside a luminous, candle-warmed Persian sanctuary interior — a serene, mysterious elder in simple dervish woollen robes lies peacefully asleep on a hand-woven carpet near a low arched niche…A dramatic wide establishing shot of an ancient Persian ruin — roofless stone walls open to the sky, crumbling arches framing a vast rectangle of brilliant pure-white midday sky above…A medium two-shot in a sunlit Persian courtyard — two elegantly dressed Iranian men of the classical era sitting across from each other on a stone bench beside a blue-tiled fountain…An aerial overhead shot looking straight down at the luminous narrow lane between the two closed buildings — the mosque gate to one side, the tavern door to the other…A luminous wide shot at clear blue dawn — our dervish wanderer, the motif figure, now seen full-length from the front for the first time, standing in an open Persian garden courtyard…
