About this film+

A middle-aged man drives through the dusty outskirts of Tehran looking for someone to bury him after he dies. The film explores deep themes of life and death through long conversations with strangers in his car. The visual style is defined by earthy browns and the dry, hilly landscapes of the Iranian countryside.
