Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami always finds inventive ways to tell a compelling story despite the censorship imposed by the government. A portrait of women in contemporary Iran who deal with various situations and problems. Kiarostami tells his story in ten sequences, all in one car with same driver whose conversations with her son, sister, friend and strangers reveal how people in Iran function in an oppressive society ruled by men. Mania Akbari gives a compelling performance as the central character who literally drives the story. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
