Directed by Mohammad Shirvani
Mohammad Shirvani's captivating feature introduces a father and son; the older man obese and oppressive; the younger; deaf, mute and passive. A tyrannical and suffocating paternalism clearly governs their relationship. Enter an enigmatic young woman, a photographer, who becomes an agent and harbinger of change—as Shirvani's powerful use of symbolism and exquisite cinematography combine to create a deeply suggestive portrait of social rupture in modern Iran.
