A brave film on a disbarred female lawyer who wants to leave Iran. A film made by a director threatened with a jail sentence and banned from making further films. No violence is shown on screen and the tale is very close to real life in Iran today. An unknown but talented crew helps the talented director. My full review is at http://moviessansfrontiers.blogspot.in/2012/03/127-iranian-director-mohammad-rasoulofs.html
