Synopsis

A man dreams of gold at a cave's end but cannot pursue it due to his faith. He enlists a non-believer, and they embark on a long journey across Iran. Along the way, others are drawn to the temptation. Aliyar Rasti's allegorical tale turns their road trip into a game of hide and seek between faith and human frailty.
