Centered on a doctor contemplating suicide after losing his practice and facing arrest, the film captures the fragile beauty of human connection — especially family — in the face of despair. Drawing from Italian neorealism, Asgari mirrors post-war Italy’s grit to reflect Iran’s current struggles, showing how small acts of presence and care can move mountains. The protagonist ultimately chooses to keep going, not for grand change, but because being there for others pulls us back from the edge. Asgari believes real transformation begins when we sit together, laugh, dance — even in darkness — because our lives are woven together, and light is found in shared humanity.
