Tinoo Salehi

As the police arrive to investigate the sudden death of a boy in his classroom, a teacher must reckon with his reputation in the eyes of his students and colleagues.

Sarah is leaving Teheran for three years to study for her doctorate in Canada. Her flight is at 6 am. After an emotionally fraught final dinner with her family, she heads to an impromptu farewell party at her friend Farida’s apartment, intending to go straight to the airport afterwards. That plan implodes, however, when the morality police swoop in. Drinks are emptied, musical instruments hidden and women put on their overcoats, while Sarah is seized with terror that they will all be arrested – and she, of course, will miss her plane. Mehran Modiri, Iran’s popular satirist, who also has a chilling cameo as a police hostage negotiator, proves here that he is just as at home with a nail-biting drama.

Leili and Pasha, who were once in a relationship, unexpectedly meet each other at a mutual friend’s wedding ceremony. Told in flashback, the film makes us dive into their past and witness how they met, how tension arose between them and how the dilemma between love and personal freedom ultimately led to their separation – all accompanied by a pop soundtrack making their tale an electrifying adventure.
