Famous actress Behnaz Jafari can’t help but respond to the cry for help from a provincial girl whose family prevents her from taking up her studies at the Tehran Conservatory. Behnaz decides to abandon a film shooting and turns to moviemaker Jafar Panahi to solve the mystery behind the young girl’s problems. They travel by car to the rural northwest of the country, where they meet the charming inhabitants of the budding actress’s mountain village. But the visitors soon discover that tradition is just as powerful as hospitality...
Jafar Panahi directed his first feature, Badkonake sefid (The White Balloon) in 1995, for which he wrote the screenplay with Abbas Kiarostami and won the Caméra d’Or in Cannes. Among other awards, he has garnered the Golden Lion in Venice and the FIPRESCI Grand Prix in San Sebastian for Dayereh (The Circle, 2000), the Jury Grand Prix in Berlin for Offside (2006), the Best Screenplay Silver Bear for Pardé (Closed Curtain, 2012), also in Berlín, and the Golden Bear and FIPRESCI prize for Taxi Téhéran (2015), again at the Berlinale. 3 Rokh (Three Faces) won the Best Screenplay Award at the last Cannes Festival.
