Chicken with Plums

2011, Movie, 1h 32min

Nasser-Ali, en begåvad musiker, tappar viljan att leva efter att hans fru krossade hans älskade fiol under ett gräl. Han letar efter en ersättare, och när han inte hittar någon som låter riktigt lika, lovar han att dö. Åtta dagar senare gör han det. Det här är berättelsen om hans sista vecka i livet, där vi ser tillbakablickar och flashbacks från hans tidigare liv och hans barns framtid. Vi ser också framträdanden av en naken Sophia Loren samt dödsängeln Azarel. När vi ser hans liv inser vi exakt varför han valde att avsluta det och djupet i detta val.
