Plot
A man and his rabid dogs.
Sinekatalog’s take
Bahram Beyzaie's thriller has a man wrestling with rabid dogs and the fear they carry in an isolated setting. Tense and allegorical, it is a dark, stylised Iranian work of paranoia and survival.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
