Iranian cinema made in Europe. But it could not be otherwise: it is about the fate of women, which is too delicate a topic for a country where every film must begin with the caption «In the name of Allah.» Even if it takes place — as in this movie — in 1953.
Iranian cinema made in Europe. But it could not be otherwise: it is about the fate of women, which is too delicate a topic for a country where every film must begin with the caption «In the name of Allah.» Even if it takes place — as in this movie — in 1953. Against the backdrop of a coup d’état, four heroines — a prosperous housewife, a prostitute, an old maid and a young woman with the intention of getting married — are trying to change their fates … In a sense, this is a change in the fate of the Russian audience: now authentic Persian film products are reaching us — from a subtle synthesis of juiciness and uncompromising non-entertainment.
Producer: Sweet Neshat. Starring: Navid Akhavan, Bidjan Daneshmand, Pega Feridoni.
