Meadow saffron tells a history about loneliness, strangers, misunderstanding, approach, friendship and separation. The history of two people from different cultures and generations which close in spite of her differences and conflicts, friendship and thereby escape her loneliness. In an impressive synthesis of European and Persian Bildsprache meadow saffron tells about two displaced people: from a Persian student who goes with an old German man cleaning, from two lonesome souls which meet and develop respect one in front of the other. Formed unusually poetically, the atmospheric short film works like a nice, melancholy poem.
