We all die one day, don't worry, no one's ever left alive.

Drama

Somaieh, the youngest daughter of an indigent family, is getting married and fear is overwhelming each and every member of the family regarding how to overcome their difficulties after she's gone.

VIBE

A heavy, suffocating atmosphere permeates this Iranian drama. It's a raw, unflinching look at familial bonds strained by poverty and impending tragedy. The film feels intensely real, leaving a lingering sense of sorrow and empathy.
