For 40 years, Esfandiari has been preparing corpses for burial in the central Iranian town of Sedeh, where gravestones from the 12th century stand alongside recent ones from the Iran-Irak war. One day, Esfandiari suddenly feels ill when making preparations for a funeral. For the fi rst time, he starts to think about his own death…A wonderful and poetic debut, a mixture of documentary and fiction, with all parts played by non-actors from Sedeh.Nominated for the Hamburg Film Critics Award!
