Sinekatalog’s take

Bahram Beyzaie's allegory has a mysterious stranger arrive by boat in a Caspian village, accepted by the people until the fog of the past returns. Mythic and haunting, it is a stylised, poetic and layered work of Iranian cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
