However he doesn't want to get to the line of fire, his sanctimonious demeanor leads him to something more precious than what he started his journey for.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a sharp satire by placing a cowardly, self-interested protagonist into the absurd machinery of the Iran-Iraq war. It relies on situational comedy and ironic dialogue to explore the clash between personal hypocrisy and the overwhelming reality of conflict, never letting the humor overshadow the underlying tragedy.
What lingers after the final scene is a poignant reflection on the unexpected ways people discover fragments of integrity. The journey from cynical calculation to reluctant awakening is both humorous and deeply human. — MovieFinder Editorial
