"Mother married a photo of Father," says director Firouzeh Khosrovani in the opening of this deeply personal documentary. She's not speaking metaphorically though. Her mother Tayi literally married a portrait of Hossein in Teheran -he was in Switzerland studying radiology and was unable to travel back to his homeland for the wedding. The event illustrates the abyss that still exists in their marriage: Hossein is a secular progressive and Tayi a devout, traditional Muslim.

A film that depicts a family story in a way that it immediately "feels" like you should like this movie. Because of the story at least, or if not at least because of those women. But the movie is slow and would be better if it was cut down to 45 minutes with same content. It has weak footage, an artificially constructed dialogue, and the viewer may be tired staring into that white room for so many repetitions. I get the director; it is a creative way and an attempt to something maybe artistic or modern art movie, but it doesnt work.
[IDFA] A family story and an ideological rupture of the director's father and mother establish a general reflection of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Radicalization causes emotional division. These scars are cleverly showed, but the film uses two false elements that harm it. The current sound of footage and an artificial dialogue between actors. The second part, without these elements, is more forceful, more moving.
