CONTENDER FOR THE GOLDEN BEAR AT 2024 BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL
Seventy-year-old Mahin has been widowed for 30 years and her two children live abroad. She is living a lonely life in Tehran. But one day, she decides to join her friends for the afternoon tea and finds a new spark in her heart. She meets someone who makes her feel alive again, and the evening brings unpredictable surprises and memories. A bittersweet film.
“As well as everything else, this wonderfully sweet and funny film will contribute to the debate about whether repressive regimes are the nursery of artistic greatness.” (Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian)
