Description
Watch the trailer
In this poignant comedy-drama, a lonely seventy-year-old widow decides to pursue joy and love. Mahin (Lili Farhadpour) spends her days mostly alone, except for occasional visits with friends to discuss their various ailments, and video chats with her distracted daughter overseas. Determined to revive her love life, she meets Faramaz (Esmaeel Mehrabi), a lonesome cab driver about her age, by chance. She engineers a night to remember, full of drinking, dancing, and the affection they both crave.
The plot may seem innocuous, but the directors’ passports were revoked, preventing them from attending the film’s premiere in Berlin. This travel ban is presumed to be related to the film's scenes of drinking, Mahin’s uncovered hair, and berating a morality police officer into releasing a young woman.
