Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film references the actual Iran Air Flight 655 incident, where 290 civilians died. Iranian cinema often processes this wound through allegory rather than direct confrontation.
Hatamikia deliberately keeps the American crew off-screen — the enemy is absence itself, making Morteza's obsession more pathology than politics.
