Ljupki život starijeg bračnog para u zabačenom selu. Riječ je o tradicionalnom načinu života i posebnoj generaciji u Iranu, koja je čitav život provela radeći. Akbar, koji ima 94 godine, i Marzieh, koja ima 83, par su koji živi u ljubavi u pustinjskom selu u Iranu. Kao i za ostale mještane, poezija i pjesma su njihov svakodnevni jezik. Selo je gotovo napušteno, a mještani su uglavnom starci i starice. Njihova djeca su otišla da žive bolji život u velikim gradovima. Sedmoro djece Akbara i Marzieh učinilo je isto. Na televiziji su objavljene vijesti o korona virusu, a Akbar umire tokom prve jesenje oluje. Sva djeca i rodbina dolaze na njegovu sahranu, ali nakon ceremonije vraćaju se u grad, dok Marzieh ostaje sama sa mladim sadnicama i proljećnim cvjetanjem.
Lovely Life of an old couple in a remote village. It’s about traditional life and a special generation in Iran that were working all the time in their life. Akbar, who is 94 and Marzieh, who is 83 years old, are a couple that lives in love in a desert village in Iran. Like for the other people of the village, poetry and song are the common language for them. The village is abandoned and villagers are almost entirely old men and women. Their children have left to live a better life in big cities. 7 children of Akbar and Marzieh did the same. The TV news announce about Corona disease and Akbar dies in the first autumn storm. All the children and relatives come for his burial, but after the ceremony they return to the city and Marzieh is left with the young seedlings and spring blooms.
