Sixteen Words takes us on the journey of Mona, a young journalist who, triggered by the loss of her grandmother, finds herself in an identity crisis and travels to Iran.

It is an odyssey of self-discovery, artfully presented in sixteen chapters, each titled with a single Persian word that captures the essence of the story and defies translation.
