Synopsis

Davud returns from war to find everyone in his village has succumbed to a strange illness and has rotted away. Their house is the only one with the lights on. His sister Sura, the only survivor, is slowly rotting herself. No electricity, no gas, no water, no food left, only a dog to keep them company. Davud is troubled by his memories as a soldier, as he confronts the only true question: Is surviving the same as living? Are those who survive really alive?
