Gavazn

Deer | Hirsch
Winter has descended on a mountain village in Northern Iran. Still in serious condition, Ehsan’s brother returns from the hospital as snow falls. While the mysterious apparition of a deer in the nearby forest causes a stir in town, Ehsan grows more and more worried about his brother. An ancient legend tells of an angel of death that takes on different forms. When the deer appears at the window in the dead of night, Ehsan sets off to save his brother.
