Abstract Going through the darkness towards light is a nice allegory previously used to show the development of a human capacities potential capacities which are not possible to be realized as active ones or are depressed by human. The allegory of Plato’s cave is based on the same allegory. As a matter of fact, the mentioned allegory indicates the current status of human being compared to perfection. The movie Cow by Daryush Mehrjooei shows these human transformations. This film shows a person who is standing on the border of darkness and light, who suddenly falls into darkness. This article is to re-read the film Cow and explain its anthropological patterns. To glean the concepts, we employed the qualitative content analysis method. In conclusion, it is claimed that redemption and desirable socialization is a gradual long-term process that is dependent on cultural patterns.
