"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS" is a documentary film about the life and death of Ebrahim Monsefi, commonly known as Ebram; a popular southern guitar player, singer and poet in Iran who was born 70 years ago in Bandar-Abbas and passed away 50 years afterwards. He suffered such a sad end that it made it almost impossible for anyone to tell if he committed suicide or died a natural death. Although he passed away almost two decades ago, thoughts and debates still continue about the cause and reason for his death. Ebrahim spent his whole life writing lyrics and composing music in solitude and recorded them in solitude as well, he never recorded in a studio. Since his death, his works have been discovered and published little by little, and over time more and more people have referred to his music and several musicians have started covering them. Many have become interested in his life. He has reached fame posthumously. In his personal and emotional life, Ebram had loved a woman for many years only to suddenly lose her one day. He named her "Amis" and she was his muse. He mentioned her in almost every song and never forgot about her until his sorrowful death. The movie is about the loving relationship between Ebram and Amis; through stories of culture, tradition and music. The film was shot on location in the south of Iran, beside a sea that reaches on towards India and Africa. It is in this location that Ebram wanders through.
