Sinopsis:

Mania Akbari's sequel (of sorts) to Abbas Kiarostami's Ten walks the delicate line between art and life. Conversations with her friends and family are caught and recorded within the intimate spaces of a car and, finally, a hospitable bed. Mania is suffering from cancer and as her disease progresses it ultimately dictates the nature of her journey, a new experience in which the director is being directed by her cancer in the process of making the film.
