A daring mix of the traditional Iranian passion play and an experimental narrative style, TRAVELLERS is the story of a wedding ceremony which turns into a funeral wake when the bride's sister and her entire family are killed in a traffic accident. ". . .a brilliant exposition of the themes of death and predestination, (it) incorporates most of Beyzai's stylistic and thematic preoccupations--the alienated identity, theatrical setups, camerawork, sound effects, music, multiplicity of characters, time lapses, etc.--all brought together and unified into a homogeneous whole by the director's unfailing overall control." - Jamil Omid, International Film Guide
