Plot

The program narrates the Iranian history in a 60-year period from Jungle movement to Iranian revolution and Iran–Iraq War. In the Eyes of the Wind spans the period of history between the revolutionary movement begun by Iran's national hero Mirza Kuchik Khan in the early twentieth century, to the liberation of Khorramshahr during the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980s. The story is told through the trials and tribulations, love and relationships, of one family.

Reconstruction of the streets of Taleghani, Lalezar, and Pamenar was reconstructed to capture the sequences of years 1 and 2, and the reconstruction of the Khorramshahr Mosque took about six months to complete in the main mosque itself. Ghazali Cinema City was the main location of Phase Two of the series.
