Telescope is picture of a filmmaker who retreats from filmmaking for a while and turns into a single father.
A closed circuit camera for traffic control in Tehran reacts to the wanderings of a single woman on a high-way.
The film introduces us to a father and his son; the older man is obese, unwell, and oppressive in his dealings with the younger, who is also deaf and mute. A series of cryptic, spellbinding episodes reveals a tyrannical paternalism at work that has long since hardened into a closed circuit of mutual pain. Enter a mysterious and beautiful woman of unspecified identity, who becomes an agent of change, embodying both an evolved consciousness and the power of the female as a rebuke to bankrupt patriarchy.
