Behnam Abedi

A free adaptation of the classic William Faulkner novel, AS I LAY DYING follows four siblings - three brothers, accompanying their only sister - as they drive to the south of Iran with their newly-deceased father's body. Their father's will demands that his body be buried in a small, faraway village, a place none of his children have ever heard of.

An hour before a funfair is opened, a worker falls to his death down the big wheel, and the other workers are forced to keep silent and continue the opening ceremony.
