How Much You Want to Cry?(2005)

How Much You Want to Cry? is an Iranian film about Reza Shayesteh, a man who returns home after years abroad with one final wish: to die peacefully and be buried in his hometown. His pressing concern isn't death itself, but what comes after—he has no one to mourn him or attend his funeral. Caught between his desire for a dignified end and the harsh reality of his isolation, Shayesteh must confront the relationships he's abandoned and the life he's left behind. The film explores themes of mortality, belonging, and the human need for connection, blending dark humor with poignant reflection on what it means to be remembered.
