A Few Kilos of Dates for a Funeral

The film revolves around Sadry, a former strongman who is now blind in one eye and runs a gas station with his assistant Yadi. Their isolated location leads to very few customers, adding to their struggles. The postman Abbas also plays a significant role, as he dreams of upgrading his bicycle while caring for his mentally ill brother.

Set against a backdrop of desolation, the film captures the complexities of these characters' lives and their interactions. The runtime of 85 minutes allows for a focused exploration of their daily challenges and aspirations, making it a notable entry in contemporary Iranian cinema.
