Synopsis

Bahman Farjami, a fifty-five-year-old film director, has not made a film for the past twenty years. The death of other film directors of his generation and his own heart condition make him feel that death must be around the corner. Out of desperation, he decides to make a film about his own funeral. The research into Funeral Rites in Iran and what goes on in the Iranian society of today gets tangled together, and the process takes him through an emotional roller coaster that leads him to his death. May be.
