A seemingly minor traffic collision has far-reaching consequences in this story of a well-meaning medical examiner haunted by the death of a child he might have prevented.
The forensic pathologist Dr. Nariman has a car accident with a motorcyclist and injures the cyclist's 8-year-old son. He offers to take the child to a clinic nearby, but the father refuses his help and money. The next morning, in the hospital where he works, Dr. Nariman finds out that the little boy has been brought for an autopsy after a suspicious death.
Dr. Nariman is facing a dilemma: is he responsible for the child's death due to the car accident or the child died of food poisoning according to other doctors' diagnosis?
As the story unfolds, his fate becomes inextricably bound up with that of the grieving family.
In only his second feature, Vahid Jalilvand coaxes brilliantly understated performances from a superb cast for this compelling, considered meditation on guilt and grief.
