THEMy Persian garden
Type: Dramatic ✦✦✦ 1/2
Director: Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha. With Lili Farhadpour, Esmaeel Mehrabi

Mahin is a brilliant widow, decidedly independent, born and raised in the pre -revolutionary Iranand perhaps for this he willing to risk to defend a girl targeted by the moral police (“Do you want to kill her for a strand of hair?”).

After three decades of solitudedespite the friends Scoraggino, Mihan wants a man. If looking around in the bar of a luxury hotel does not produce any results, it is at the simple restaurant where the government meal vouchers are spent that Mahin crosses the gaze of Faramarz, a kind, impatient taxi driver like her of the restrictions of the regime (experimented when he played in a musical group).

Just one night, good wine and a fragrant dessert that bakes in the oven to make floors for the future. There is no more time to waste. Film invaded to the regime that prevented the authors from attending the Première to Berlinal 2024. The fault of a strand of hair and a story of possible happiness.
