PersianDrama 97 min 2012
A father, aided by his young son, kills his daughter over moral pretexts and secretly buries her in the basement of their home. The cellar becomes the site of a concealed crime whose afterlife refuses to fade. Set almost entirely within this single house, the film traces how the hidden grave binds the family across decades, with the daughter’s absence (and lingering presence) haunting and shaping successive generations.
