Mahin: Are you afraid of death Faramarz: No, I am afraid of dying alone..
I have yet to see a great Iranian film where the characters defy physics, logic and emotions, so here is another sweet gem to add to that list
This is the story of two seventy-year-olds who find love on a beautiful evening, sharing the little details of life and appreciating the little moments along the way.
Faramarz (Esmaeel Mehrabi, who plays the gentle stunt double to perfection) enters her life in the most casual way possible, and this leads to interesting conversations, wine and merriment
We meet Mahin (the lovely Lili Farhadpour) as she goes about her day, learning more about her through the snippets of life interactions she has with the people around her.
The late (and expected) twist only reminds you that happy moments don’t last forever, but neither do sad ones
