Los Angeles, after dark. Under the neon glow of service stations, the colourful flashes of blinking signage, or the gleam of distant fireworks, young men and women voice memories of a faraway city – Tehran – in a foreign language, as if possessed by the spirit of exiled Iranians. Their bodies have become hybrids of hosts and guests, and inhabit a world that the ghostly presence of another space-time has rendered unreal.
