Plot

Noura (Leyla Zareh) is an attorney whose license has been revoked by the government, as her resultant attempts at escape meet with ever-mounting roadblocks. Evoking a sense of dread and despair, Rasoulof (himself officially constrained from making more films) constructs a fitting metaphor for the stultifying pressures faced by many in today's Iran.

Awards

Winner of best director honors in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

gollark: PotatOS is designed to make it as hard as possible to meddle much in the internals if you're a user.
gollark: PotatOS uses the Polychoron process manager I made, but it's not hooked into multishell or anything.
gollark: `window` has very useful capabilities, but barely exposes any.
gollark: `multishell` manages its coroutines internally, and you can't really touch them in a useful way.
gollark: It uses `parallel` as its top level event loop thing to run rednet.run and shell at the same time, but you can't add your own stuff to that.
