Marzieh Meshkini's surreal trip-tech about the oppression of women in Iran is a fresh voice in the Iranian cinema that has been dominated by men. The film is written by her husband filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf whose entire family has made films meanwhile. The three short films depict three generation of women, each of them facing dire consequences. The film is a visually stunning poem to women and set in the sun drenched seaside town of Kish that shows a different side of Iran we haven't seen before. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
