Milad (18), who recently moved to the city, receives a visit from his girlfriend Sali and her sister Elena on an autumn day. During an innocent walk in the park, a group of men dressed in raincoats suddenly appears on the horizon. When they send their fierce-looking dogs after the trio, Milad flees—after a wild chase—into a seemingly abandoned building. This is the beginning of an adventure of derailed reality, balancing between dream and nightmare.

MovieDramaCrime

You can’t help missing an outsider in the small Scottish town of Forres. And that while Bodkin Ras wants to keep his head down, because he’s on the run. In this mixture of fiction and documentary, Sohrab Bayat, who plays the title role, is the only actor. The other characters are inhabitants of Forres, who play themselves and whose striking life stories are incorporated into the script. The boundaries between reality and fiction fade and this gives the film a special atmosphere.
