A VERY ORDINARY CITIZEN

Tehran. Present day. After the death of his wife and facing the onset of Alzheimer’s Mr Safari, an eighty-year-old pensioner, decides to visit his son, who lives abroad and cannot return home for security reasons. Sara, a young woman working in a travel agency, is given the task of organising Mr Safari’s travel arrangements. But then Mr Safiri falls in love with Sara, gives up all ideas of travelling and decides, before his memory completely fails, to express his love for Sara at any price, even if it involves murder.
This unconventional romance/crime drama was shot in long takes, following the characters through their environment in order to reflect their consternations and obsessions.
