A new film by Iranian director Nader Saeivar, who was invited to the New Currents section in 2022 with No End. While the director portrayed an ironic situation where an innocent citizen had to confess to a crime in No End, this film exposes the unreasonable reality where the law and public power protect the criminal even though someone has witnessed a murder. Although it indirectly criticizes the reality of Iranian society, it’s not just a film with bare political consciousness but one that shows the power of universally relatable characters. The protagonist, Mrs. Ghorbani, is a dignified elderly woman. While taking care of Zara, the daughter of her friend who died in an accident, the old lady is also active in union activities at the school where she has worked for decades. Mrs. Ghorbani visits Zara’s house and notices her husband’s suspicious behavior, realizing that Zara has been killed by her husband. She testifies about the murder to the police, but Zara’s husband claims innocence in various ways. Mrs. Ghorbani repeatedly hits obstacles, but she can’t unsee what she has seen. Her lonely fight for the truth continues. (NAM Dong-chul)
