An Iranian mortician in Canada, tasked by the Iranian government to wash the bodies of recently deceased ex-pats, has his world turned upside down when he receives an unusual request from a dissident singer in hiding.

ಕನಡಾದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಒಬ್ಬ ಇರಾನಿ ಶವ ಸಂಸ್ಕಾರಕನಿಗೆ, ಅನಿವಾಸಿ ಇರಾನಿಯರ ಮೃತರಾದವರ ಶವಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯದಂತೆ ಶುಚಿಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಇರಾನ್ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ನೀಡಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ನಡುವೆ, ತಲೆಮರೆಸಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಒಬ್ಬ ಬಂಡಾಯ ಗಾಯಕನಿಂದ ಬರುವ ವಿಚಿತ್ರ ವಿನಂತಿಯು ಆತನ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ತಲ್ಲಣಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

Abdolreza Kahani (b. 1973) is an award-winning Iranian filmmaker with a Master’s degree in theatre from the University of Tehran. He began making experimental shorts and documentaries at thirteen. His debut feature, DANCE WITH THE MOON (2004), launched a career that included eight feature films in Iran. Several later works were banned due to censorship, leading him to relocate to France in 2015. Despite restrictions, his films earned international acclaim, winning awards at festivals such as Karlovy Vary and Thessaloniki. He has directed films in countries including France, Thailand, and Canada, identifying himself as a nomadic filmmaker without fixed borders.
