A forensic pathologist investigates himself when a young boy dies in this Iranian drama.
"The second feature by Iranian filmmaker Vahid Jalilvand (Wednesday, May 9) centres on Dr. Kaveh Nariman, an extremely rigorous forensic doctor. While driving home at night, Nariman knocks over a motorcycle carrying a family of four. Eight year-old Amir Ali seems to only be suffering a mild concussion, and no report is made. Two days later, the boy is brought to the morgue where Nariman works." (Sydney Film Festival)

"The emotional pull of these characters in crisis remains affectingly present, especially Leila’s anger-infused grief and Moosa’s soul-crushing anguish."

Variety
Variety"In a landscape often coldly desaturated by the camera, the plot is secondary to the gripping performances. The scene where an angry, grieving Moosa goes to a factory to confront someone he blames is a scarifying tour-de-force."
