If you happen to visit a Tehran park early in the morning you may see an interesting gathering of middle aged and elderly people. It is an exercise group, made up of those who have the free time and luxury of treating themselves to the fresh morning air and the natural ‘high’ of morning exercises and sports.

Many retirees, grandfathers and grandmothers can be found there who have formed social groups: house parties, touring and travelling as a group, and even marriages among themselves and their children.

In this multimedia report we meet Mr. Jahangard who has been a regular member of such an exercise group in a Tehran park for the past fifteen years. He offers us his observations regarding this world and its pleasures, as well as a glimpse of the delicate yet invigorating early morning atmosphere of the park.
