The House Is Black(خانه سیاه است)

The only film directed by trailblazing feminist Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad finds unexpected grace where few would think to look: a leper colony whose inhabitants live, worship, learn, play, and celebrate in a self-contained community cut off from the rest of the world. Farrokhzad creates a profoundly empathetic portrait of those cast off by society.
