Synopsis

Squatters, mostly Arabs in Persia, live on a mothballed oil tanker in the Persian Gulf. The children attend a school on board; men harvest scrap metal and old oil in the hull; women keep house and raise children. Captain Nemat runs things with an iron hand, orienting new residents, keeping the books, negotiating with new buyers who may want to scrap the ship, arranging things, keeping discipline. We follow a lad who rescues fish trapped in the hull, an old man who stares at the sun, the idealistic teacher, and Ahmad, the Captain's assistant who has fallen in love with a young woman whose father wants to marry her to someone of means. What future has this sinking city?

The soundtrack of Iron Island did not effectively capture the emotional depth and complexity of the characters and their struggles living on the mothballed oil tanker. The music felt disconnected from the story and failed to enhance the viewer's immersion into the world of the film.

On the other hand, the use of traditional Middle Eastern instruments in the soundtrack adds a layer of cultural richness and authenticity to the film. The blending of these traditional sounds with modern musical elements creates a unique and captivating auditory experience that enhances the storytelling and immerses the audience in the characters' struggles and hopes for the future.

The lack of authenticity in the music detracted from the overall viewing experience and made it difficult to fully connect with the characters and their experiences.
