- Summary:
- A middle-aged, divorced man returns home one day to find a woman's cryptic message on his voicemail. Claiming to have dialed his number by chance, she tells him of her intentions to kill herself, and also of her house keys which are hidden underneath her doormat. Intrigued, he shows up at her flat, and finds the keys, but he is too late. He finds instead, a friend of hers, whom he spends the night with, driving around Tehran. And as the night deepens, a dark secret from his past resurfaces. In his feature film debut, director and writer Ali Mosaffa creates a film filled with poetry and a dream-like quality. Festivals: Karlovy Vary International Film Festival; Montreal Film Festival.
