Synopsis
The atmosphere is dreamlike, the characters have no name, neither the streets. Teheran is the only character whose name is constantly evoked. A lawyer, as many others, works and lives alone in his apartment, which is both his office and his home. In a cold and rainy day, a man burst into his apartment, speaks to him shortly and confusingly and gives him a package that will completely change his life.{{Cite web|url=http://www.sicvenezia.it/3860/edizione-2016/film-2016/drum/?lang=en|title=Tabl -Synopsis|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=2016-08-02|archive-date=2016-07-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160730114014/http://www.sicvenezia.it/3860/edizione-2016/film-2016/drum/?lang=en|url-status=dead}}
