Drector Kazem Mollaie – 2017 The Islamic Republic of Iran 81 min Bay Area Premiere – Drama / Middle Eastern
Dr. Ahmad Kupal is a 50-year-old hunter and taxidermist living on the outskirts of Tehran, Iran. Recently, his wife Firoozeh has left him because of his excessive hunting, his numerous taxidermy animals that fill the house, and most importantly his extreme love for his dog Haiku. Firoozeh will only come back on one condition: that Kupal takes Haiku and all the taxidermy animals out of the house.
Just moments before the New Year and having to decide between his wife or his dog, Kupal and his dog get trapped in his huge basement taxidermy workshop that has a newly installed steel burglarproof door. For days, he struggles with death in a very harsh and unimaginable situation and is forced to battle thirst and hunger in his own special way to survive. – Jennifer Junkyard Morris
