Forensic pathologist Dr. Nariman's car strikes a motorcyclist's eight-year-old son in a minor accident. He offers help; the father, proud and suspicious, refuses. A few days later the boy dies, and the cause of death lands on Nariman's desk. Jalilvand's film is a moral thriller built from silence and professional distance — the gap between what a man knows and what he can bring himself to do. The class dynamic between the doctor and the working-class family runs underneath everything, quietly indicting a system where dignity costs more than justice. Won Best Director at Venice.
