Dancing in the Dust

Nazar (Yousef Khodaparast) has divorced his wife under family pressure and now owes money on the wedding loan and to his jilted bride, Rayhaneh (Baran Kosari). When he falls behind and the police come looking, he runs into the desert and ends up with an old man (Faramarz Gharibian) who catches poisonous snakes for their venom. Asghar Farhadi puts a talker and a silent man in the same sparse landscape, and the debts Nazar left behind still follow him there.
