After a promising debut with A TRIP TO THE TRAVELER'S LAND in 1994, Bahman Kiarostami (son of Iranian director, Abbas Kiarostami) returns with this charming documentary about mourners-for-hire who are called upon to attend funerals in Iran.

With an understated, lighthearted style, TABAKI offers a fascinating view of a peculiar occupation within this religious culture, offering, in the process, an insightful portrait of the society as a whole.
