Mortician

Mojtaba is a reclusive mortician living and working in Canada, a specialist in washing corpses before burial, following Islamic tradition. One day Mojtaba receives an unusual request: to meet Jana, an exiled Iranian singer hiding in the countryside. A dissident whose protest songs have made her a target of the Iranian authorities, Jana (played by real-life singer Golazin Ardestani, aka Gola) tells Mojtaba that she wants him to wash her body when she commits suicide. The request forces him to confront the collision of duty, faith, and rebellion—an encounter that forever alters the course of his life. 

Mortician - a unique, sensitive, and haunting drama - burns hot against the snowbound landscape. The film had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Festival, where it won the Sean Connery Prize for Filmmaking Excellence.
