Two old writers who one of them is returned to Iran after 38 years because of his son's suicide, are going on a trip to the grave of that son.

Our read · A Little Kiss (2005) reads as a sombre, measured, grounded exile · return · intellectual entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
