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 life. But as Mahin opens herself up to new romance, what begins as an unexpected encounter quickly evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening.
Glorious and heartrending. – Nadine Whitney, AWFJ.org
Plans have a way of going awry in this lovely, intimate, tragicomic tale of late-blooming love in the shadow of Iran’s repressive regime. In its gentle way, this is a subversive piece of film-making. – Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)
