A 70-year-old widow takes a second shot at love in this radiant tragicomedy from Iran.
Mahin (Lily Farhadpour) has lived alone in Tehran since her husband died and her daughter left for Europe. One afternoon, a conversation with friends inspires her to break out of her solitary routine, and what begins as an unexpected encounter with Faramarz (Esmaeel Mehrabi) quickly evolves into an unforgettable evening.
Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha’s delightful film is also a defiant artistic statement about the complexity and individuality of older women’s lives.
