Synopsis

Amir leads a lonely life. With his dog for sole company, he drives through the underworld of Tehran, dealing drugs of all kinds and healing troubled souls. He navigates the city streets aimlessly, following the directions of his GPS while getting high to escape a town with no future.

Our take

Shot in secret, this rebellious film is an intense hypnogenic trip punctuated by moments of drug-induced reverie. Fiercely conveyed through off-kilter camera placements and immersive sound design, the alienation felt in an oppressive society is pierced through with bright flashes of solidarity.
