Breaking taboos and unconventional for Iranian cinema
What a great film, very unique and realistic, the right film to need. It’s a film about a lonely woman who seeks some happiness under the dictatorship of Iran, but things don’t go as well as she planned. But it’s like a backstory to the real stories and issues embedded in its rich plot. Social realist drama/tragedy/romantic drama Entertaining, inspiring, caring, shocking and largely eloquent.
