56th Cannes Critics Week
TEHRAN TABOO
directed by Ali Soozandeh
produced by coop99 filmproduktion, Little Dream Entertainment (D)
The lives of three strong-willed women and a young musician cross paths in Tehrans schizophrenic society where sex, adultery, corruption, prostitution and drugs coexist with strict religious law. In this bustling modern metropolis, avoiding prohibition has become an everyday sport and breaking taboos can be a means of personal emancipation.
