This is an Iranian short film adapted from a short story by Italo Calvino. It is shot in black and white and it contains no dialogue.
The film depicts of the monotony and even alienation of modern life even in a theocracy such as Iran where both a young husband and wife work all week in order to maintain their apartment and life.
We see the husband arriving home by train, at home he eats his supper, his wife who has just woke up has breakfast. While he goes to bed, she goes to work by bus at a beer bottling plant. (I had no idea there was beer in Iran.)
When her shift finishes, she does some shopping and returns home to cook dinner. The husband wakes up and they eat together before he heads to work where he works as night security.
This is the life of the couple, tedious and little in way of words. It is merely an existence.
The only out of ordinary you get to see is when she is on the production line a woman enters a room furtively with a male supervisor and then you get some symbolic shots of the beer bottles overflowing.
