Synopsis:
This is an abstract, partly symbolic story. We follow an engineer who travels with two colleagues from Teheran to a small village, Siah Dareh. They wander around the village, spend some time at the cemetery and observe the daily activities of the local people… This film was inspired by the Furugh Farrukhzad’s song (the original title is Bad ma ra khahad bord), and won many awards (the most important among them was the jury’s special award at the Venice film festival).
