The simple plot of ‘Survival,’ which is macabre enough and belies the expectations of the audience in finding themselves facing with possibilities of human survival in conditions unpalatable and eerie as practicing cannibalism: in the middle of nowhere, two people are living in a lake and they are using corpses to survive. The surreal experience in a lake is striking for the juries who unmistakably award Hatami’s short movie, this time for its editing efforts by Hamid Najafirad.
