Synopsis
The film features a non-linear storyline composed of several interwoven narratives presented in a circular timeline. The main plot centers around a group of male and female students who travel to northern Iran for a kite-flying festival. They set up camp near a secluded restaurant-cabin inhabited by three men. The restaurant needs meat, and the students are the only potential "prey" around.
Gorbe va Mahi is based on a true story from 1998, where media reports surfaced about a roadside restaurant allegedly serving minced human flesh.
