Short study of self-reliance. Alone on a wintry mountain road, a man seeks help from passers by, to carry his car tyre to his car which is parked some distance away. Several cars pass by but none stop to offer help. He decides to roll it towards his car.
For Abbas Kiarostami, an ordinary person who finds the verve to overcome car troubles is a hero worthy of cinematic glory. And why not! Accompanied by momentous music and framed by an epic landscape, a common uphill struggle becomes something herculean in this winning ten-minute short.
