A documentary produced by the Parzor Foundation, a UNESCO assisted body dedicated to Parsi Zoroastrian heritage, exploring Asha, the Zoroastrian concept of the divine order of creation and the cosmic law of truth and righteousness that must govern a Zoroastrian's life. The film enacts the Bronze Age rituals of the Yasna, an ancient ceremony recited from memory, and the Jashan, a thanksgiving rite, explaining their environmental significance within a faith regarded as an early ecological religion in which respect for every part of creation is a cardinal tenet.
