The Wind Will Carry Us Plot Summary
What happens in The Wind Will Carry Us from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The film begins with a mesmerizing long take of the unexpectedly beautiful Iranian countryside. In a wide shot, we observe a tiny International Scout navigating a winding road, barely noticeable against the vast backdrop. Inside the vehicle, its four passengers engage in a subtle argument about their driving directions, recorded in a raw style that draws us into the scene. Right from the start, two significant aspects become clear: our director has no intention of spoon-feeding information, leaving us as in-the-dark as the characters about their identities and motives, and the film exhibits a leisurely pace, favoring long takes that linger on moments of triviality. This initial segment stretches on for over five and a half minutes, meandering through their gentle bickering.
