How Starry Was the Night - Che Por Setare Bood Shabam - چه پر ستاره بود شبم

Late in the summer; Cheshmeh-Sarveh village, Lorestan Bakhtiar is a blind young boy who begs to make a living. The people have abandoned the village to get away from its scorching heat and the intensity of agricultural duties. They have settled between the mountains and they live in the tents. Bakhtiar is the only villager who has stayed there. He waits for the passing cars to stop by; thus, he earns some negligible amount of money from the passengers or the drivers. His brother, Mirza, is his only one in touch with his family, who live in the tents. One day after finishing his daily work, on the way back to his home, Bakhtiar notices a car in which there is a bride. His mood changes; thereby, he starts hallucinating. The next day he looks everywhere in the village to find the source of the sound. He reaches somewhere; as if it is a lake (a sewage). The sound of the frogs attract him and the lake becomes his sensational resort. Then, Bakhtiar passes most of his time by the lake till the autumn arrives. With the first autumn rain, the lake turns to a rivulet. Yet Bakhtiar has got nothing to think of.

اواخر تابستان - روستای چشمه سروه، لرستان ، " بختیار " جوان کوری است که با گدایی زندگی اش را می گذراند . روستائیان بخاطر گریز از گرمای کشنده و کثرت کارهای زراعتی آبادی را خالی کرده اند و بین کوهپایه ها زیر چادر به زندگی مشغولند و تنها " بختیار" است که در آبادی مانده است و برای بدست آوردن اندکی پول به انتظار ماشین های عبوری مینشیند تا در صورت توقف ماشین های باری یا مسافربری از راننده و مسافران پولی بگیرد . "میرزا " برادرش تنها رابط بین او و خانواده اش در زیر چادرهاست. بختیار یک روز بعد از فراغت از کار روزانه به هنگام بازگشت به محل مسکونی اش متوجه عبور یک ماشین که عروس با خود دارد، می شود و روحیه اش دگرگون شده و دچار توهمات ذهنی میگردد. و روز بعد برای یافتن منبع صدا، همه آبادی را گشت میزند تا به برکه مانندی (گنداب) می رسد، صدای قورباغه های داخل برکه احساس او را جذب می کنند و پناهگاه عاطفی و حسی او می شوند . از آن پس بختیار بیشتر اوقاتش را در کنار گنداب می گذراند تا اینکه پائیز میرسد. با ریزش اولین باران پائیزی برکه به جویباری تبدیل می شود و بختیار بازهم چیزی ندارد که به آن بیاندیشد .
