It’s 3am, and a young woman and man are wandering in the city in need of urgent attention: they are desperately looking for a hospital to cure her. However, this turns out to be much harder than they originally thought, as the law stands in their way.

This Iranian short film, selected in Cannes and Sundance, follows its two characters on a disquieting journey taking place over the course of one night. A criticism of the country’s laws and the social taboo that stifles its youth, More Than Two Hours is a gripping and daring social realist drama.
