What happens

Creation Between Two Surfaces (Persian: آفرینش بین دو سطح) is the second feature film by Iranian independent filmmaker Hossein Rajabian. It was written and directed by Rajabian, using digital cinema technology, as was his first film The Upside-down Triangle, but this one is in color. The film, released in 2020, was produced after his probation in 2019, when he was in an artistic ban. This film was banned by Iranian government and has not been screened anywhere.
