From the controversial
director of Hidden Half and Two Women comes another tale of the
clash between modernism and tradition in contemporary Iran. A progressive,
recently widowed teacher and her conservative, controlling father-in-law
fight for custody of her two small children. According to tradition,
Fereshteh should remain in her father-in-law's home with her children,
but she refuses. Afraid of losing custody of the boys, she decides
to disappear with help from her women friends. Tahmineh Milani's
film captures the tumult of a nation plagued by the conflicting
philosophies of hard-line religious groups and an educated, cosmopolitan
population. |
