Hendi & Hormoz takes place on Iran’s Hormuz Island in the Persian Gulf, where hematite in the soil turns the ocean waves blood-red. Sixteen-year-old Hormoz marries Hendi after promising that he can work as a miner, but finds only closed doors instead of a job. When Hendi unexpectedly becomes pregnant, Hormoz is forced into an ill-advised pact with a smuggler.
