The Great Yawn of History

2024· 93 min★ 5.4· Drama

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.
