Based on Sadegh Hedayat's novella of the same name but film cant gratify the viewers who already read the book "The Blind Owl". Film mainly visualizes the dreams mentioned in the novel. The film rejects the non-linear and equivocal narration techniques that used in novella thereby losing the spirit. In climax, director adds some extra visuals of a cadaver, which is not in the book, resembling Hedayat's face and he is comparing the existential death of protagonist with that of Hedayat (At the start its showing "An encounter with the anguishes of Hedayat").
