Tehran Taboo

15 yrs 96 minutes 2017 7.1

This animated drama from exiled Iranian Ali Soozandeh tells the different life stories of women living in conservative and patriarchal Tehran. We see a young woman who has lost her virginity after a night out at a nightclub and desperately needs to restore it on the black market before her upcoming wedding. We meet a pregnant housewife who is prevented from working when her husband refuses to sign a certificate that gives his permission because he wants her to take care of his sick father. We also see the single mother Pari who is forced into prostitution to convince a senior judge to dissolve her unhappy marriage. The film was nominated for two awards at the Cannes Film Festival.
