A man dreams of a box of gold waiting for him at the end of a cave.
Curbed by his religious belief that it is not permissible to go after it himself, he employs the assistance of a non-believer and together they embark on a long journey across the Iranian landscape in pursuit of a miracle. Their treasure hunt soon turns tempting also for those they meet along their way. Aliyar Rasti’s allegorical breakthrough turns a road trip into a play of hide and seek between faith and human frailty.

“A constant delight, even at its most meditative.”
“A tale that’s as mysterious and melancholy as it is wryly funny.”
“Aliyar Rasti’s remarkable feature debut follows a religious man
and a young agnostic negotiating their faith during a superstitious scheme.”
Variety

“A rigorous realist fairy tale that follows two men on a journey that they
might never come back from, but from which they’ll be forever changed.”
“A vision of Iran both beautiful and desolate, bustling and quiet.”
The Film Verdict

“Like a roadtrip version of Waiting for Godot”
“Rasti utilizes the vintage aspects of fable to
present a fractured portrait of contemporary morality.”
