Still Life (Persian: طبیعت بیجان, romanized: Tabiate bijan) is a 1974 Iranian film directed by Sohrab Shahid-Saless.
It was entered into the 24th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear.
[1] For more than three decades, aging Iranian Mohamad Sardari (Zadour Bonyadi) has worked as a crossing guard at a desolate train station.
Meanwhile, back at his family home, life is similarly uneventful: Mohamad's wife passes the time weaving night and day, especially since the couple's son left to join the army.
A replacement station attendant arrives shortly after and eats with them, stuffing his face and chewing quickly.
