In order to protect his hypersensitive body from the pervasive waves, he has concocted an aluminium jumpsuit unseen beneath abundant clothing. Cut off from his fellow man the lone rider crisscrosses a spreading megapolis in which time has stood still.

It is a film whose directional style liberates the discourse of the children interviewed as they express themselves with both emotion and confidence.
A work of ‘cinéma du réel’ it allegorically depicts the country’s unfolding national identity crisis.
Oskouei’s approach to the film and its masterful construction render ‘The Last Days of Winter’ a work of great cinema quality.
