Tark-e Amigh (Deep Departure) is the haunting psychological drama that marks the feature debut of director Arman Zarrinkoub. Set almost entirely inside one house, the film follows Mahmoud, an elderly man released from a psychiatric hospital, as he returns to a cold, silent reception from his wife Fakhri. What should be a homecoming instead reopens old wounds of unresolved trauma and buried guilt, and the line between memory and hallucination slowly dissolves.
With minimal dialogue and tightly framed shots, the film builds a slow, suffocating tension anchored by Reza Babak's restrained, unsettling performance. The house itself becomes a silent witness to secrets neither character can face.
A quiet, unsparing meditation on forgiveness and repression, Tark-e Amigh is now streaming on Top Local Videos for fans of Iranian arthouse cinema.
