This documentary series captures the bittersweet reality of vacations for Persian families in Sari. Seeking respite from urban complexities, they flock to the Caspian Sea shore for weekend escapes. Armed with picnic baskets and hopeful hearts, they yearn for connection with nature and each other. Yet, their desire for tranquility clashes with the reality of bustling crowds and limited space.
Despite their efforts to find solitude, the rhythm of city life echoes on the shore. Children's laughter blends with car horns, picnic blankets jostle for space, and the ever-present gaze of skyscrapers reminds them of their return. This project explores this paradox - the pursuit of escape within the inescapable.
