Genres & Description

Animation Drama

7.0 / 10

In this gorgeously animated drama, the lives of several strong-willed women and a young musician intersect. Their stories reveal the hypocrisies of modern Iranian society, where sex, drugs, and corruption coexist with strict religious law. In the bustling metropolis of Tehran, avoiding prohibitions has become an everyday sport and breaking taboos can be a means of personal emancipation. Nevertheless, women invariably end up on the bottom rung of the social order. A young woman needs an operation to "restore" her virginity. A judge in the Islamic Revolutionary Court exhorts favors from a prostitute in exchange for a favorable ruling. The wife of an imprisoned drug addict is denied the divorce she needs in order to live independently. Making use of rotoscope animation, expat Iranian filmmaker Ali Soozandeh creates a portrait of contemporary Tehran that would be impossible by any other means.

Midget Daeshi!

Financed by Nadine Rothschild this garbage movie is low quality production in a failed attempt in a long list of anti-iran psychological operations financed by Jewish extremists and their prostitute allies like Emeratis their failed war against Iran in which they are losing and getting their asses kicked. - @Monday, November 12, 2018 3:02 AM

It was mostly good, but maybe a little too dramatic at the end. Another good point is the techniques they used made it look like it was filmed in location. If they have done it in any other way it would either cost much more to do or it would have looked bad. - @Tuesday, July 10, 2018 12:31 PM

Pretend to expose problems in Iran, but the endgame is to spread lies about Islam. Typical Western propaganda. - @Tuesday, May 29, 2018 7:31 PM

This movie is trying to distort the general good picture of Iran and the Islamic revolution of Imam Khumainy, in spite of the black corners that spread in all countries and in every society... - @Sunday, May 20, 2018 11:18 AM

Hate these type of animation techniques looks so cheap. Like the just put the "cartoon" filter on top of a video. - @Tuesday, November 21, 2017 2:28 PM

Was horrible..I do not care if it was negative, as film maker has its choice on aspect he/she wants to narrate...but it was cheap, silly and sooo not the reality of today's Tehran...the director were just very excited that his is showing sex scene in an Iranian film, by putting a bunch of old cliche about Iranian society. how depressive it is, such films are supported by German federal for propaganda goals. - @Monday, November 13, 2017 10:52 PM
