Still Life (1974)

Mohamad Sardari (Zadour Bonyadi) has served for over thirty years in his remote railway crossing station. Dutifully he has lowered and raised the crossing guard each time a train has come by. In his small home his wife sits and makes rugs from sunrise to sunset; his son has long since left to join the military. With minimal contact with the outside world, Mohamad has long since settled into his quiet, uneventful life - a life that he sees no reason should ever change, nor does he desire it to do so...
