WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Filmmaker Jafar Panahi (as himself), unable to leave his home country of Iran, travels to a small village by the Turkish border to direct a new film remotely as it shoots in Turkey. In the village, Panahi struggles with poor Wi-Fi connection, being caught in the middle of villagers’ tension, and his own turmoil about the restrictions placed upon him…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The latest film by Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi comes at an extremely turbulent time for the country, especially with Panahi himself being arrested and imprisoned by the authoritarian government.
