CGiii Comment

7 different stories about 7 different couples - all played by the same couple (of actors).

The problem...they all look and sound the same...not exactly showing their full range!

Repressed women and dodgy camera-work...makes this a very dull film indeed.

The(ir) Blurb...

A film in several episodes with Bijan Daneshmand and Mania Akbari, exposing some of the issues of men and women within the confines of tradition and family life in Iran. Each episode displays a different form of male/female interaction. The placing of the actors in a moving vehicle or against a moving back drop signifies the movement of life despite all the obstacles in its way. The film deals with the roots of dependencies, limitations, power struggles and conflict that are the familiar stuff of life of couples in the Middle East.
