2020 威尼斯影展 2020 東京FILMeX影展最佳影片 2020 喀拉拉邦影展國際影評人費比西獎 在迷霧裊繞的亞塞拜然山區中，青年達夫駕著摩托車在蜿蜒的公路上馳騁，他尋索著人生的奧義與「真正」的家人，一心嚮往著親密的情感能為他帶來生命的意義。達夫在各地與不同人物相遇，譜出一段段刻骨銘心的插曲，然而，他的到來卻也帶來無所預期的死亡，他宛若死神桑納托斯與愛神厄洛斯的化身，凡經過之處，愛與死交替而生，新生也與死亡相隨。從田野到湖畔，青年展開一趟趟如夢似幻的公路之旅，儘管路途必有險惡與失去，但愛與希望也與之共生。 一則憂傷詩意的寓言，滿溢宿命般的愁思，導演以鏡頭徐緩地呈現家鄉亞塞拜然的自然地景與人文景致。既有著土耳其導演錫蘭對小人物的暖心關照，又帶有貝拉塔爾對現實苦難的真實刻畫。藉由青年一角的無盡逃亡，透視世間共生凋零、循環流轉的本質。 Davud is a misunderstood, restless young man in search of his ‘true’ family, those whom he feels certain will bring love and therefore meaning to his life. Over the course of one strange day, pursued by men he has crossed and sure this day will be his last, Davud’s search leads him to encounters with a number of unexpected deaths and a series of women striving to liberate themselves from subjugation. As he journeys, each death and each liberation causes invisible memories and self-constructed narratives to rise to the surface of his consciousness. Davud is propelled into a journey of self-discovery that leads him back to the place he has always lived, and the love that was always there.
