Naghi Nemati

'Three and a Half' tells the story of three female convicts recently released from prison. Outside the confines of the prison walls, the trio plan to escape Iran by crossing the border. Though the women revel in each other's humor, their mission is a serious one. If caught trying to escape Iran, they will find themselves in deep trouble. An exciting tale about three women who are both resilient and troubled in equal measure.

Just one day from completing their military training, three conscripts desert their camp and escape into the frozen wilderness of Northern Iran. Travel through this mountainous, snowbound region is dangerous, but THOSE THREE opt for the independence it promises and must now forge their way through an uncertain landscape with only friendship to see them through. In this austere and mesmerizing debut feature, director Naghi Nemati's attention to the minutiae of human relationships is a quiet and deliberate meditation on the value of responsibility, connection and sacrifice.
