Cold Sweat

Seti loves music and singing, and she yearns for her voice to be heard. But in Iran, women are forbidden by law from performing in public, so the young girl decides to stage her own personal protest. The street becomes her stage, and random passersby become her enthusiastic audience. Her star rises, and Seti becomes an idol for her generation—young people who refuse to live under ruthless political oppression any longer.

Me is written and directed by Soheil Beiraghi and produced by Saeed Sa’adi and Saeed Khani. The film is about Azar (Leila Hatami), a woman who acts as a middle-man for those seeking illicit goods. According to Beiraghi: “I didn’t want to portray an ordinary woman, but the one who is living a double life. She is a rebellious woman who rebels against the law and individuals.” Me was officially selected in the Certain Regard section at the 34th Fajr International Film Festival.
