(2008, 89 min., Persian with English subtitles, directed by Ali Atshani, Iran) In this engaging comedy that takes a light approach to death and the afterlife, Hamid, a workaholic, has everything his modern lifestyle requires but no time to enjoy it -- until a freak accident delivers him at death's door. Welcomed by the ghosts of his just-deceased uncle and another accident victim, Hamid discovers that being a prankish spirit in the city isn't such a bad deal after all.
