Comprised of three interconnected stories that depict women at three stages of life in Iran, the film portrays their respective journeys toward freedom from different perspectives. The film explores what it means to be a woman, with all the intricate and bittersweet strings attached.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
