Mahin, 70, lives alone in Tehran since her husband’s death and her daughter’s departure for Europe, until an afternoon tea with friends leads her to break her solitary routine and revitalize her love life. But as Mahin opens herself up to new romance, what begins as an unexpected encounter quickly evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening.
Co-Directors Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha (BALLAD OF A WHITE COW, CIFF 2021) have crafted a beautiful, moving film about ageing and loneliness, with an incredible cast, and a truly unique story at its heart. The film's power is amplified by their style of humour and subversive romance.
