Shot
in digital, this is a collection of 10 stories all set in
the front seat of a car. The unnamed central character owns
the car and through her interactions with her passengers
we get an insight into her life and those of her passengers.
The film's various characters give us first-hand opinions
on religion, sex, divorce, parental duty and the place of
women in Iran today. This is a highly original film with
an experimental feel, yet still packs an emotional punch.
Compelling viewing - and all the more extraordinary when
you realise what little else there is to distract you from
what is happening on screen.
