Ghasem is a former Iranian Ju Jutsu champion, and a former trainer of the Iranian national team. Living in the city of Bandare Anzali at the Caspean Sea, he is now spending his time for training children and adults in the arts of Ju Jutsu. While we see the pictures of a seemingly content man, living a quite life, dedicated to his sport, we simultaneously hear him talking about the recent seperation from his wife. We are confronted with the dilemma of a man trying to be at peace with himself, while being faced with emotional chaos.
