Mehran Tamadon

Mojtaba, Hamzeh, Zar are among other individuals who have been thrown into prison and ideologically interrogated in Iran. In this documentary, the director wants them to interrogate him as agents of the Islamic Republic might. He would like the real torturer in Iran to see himself through the film as if in a mirror. The violent experience of putting themselves in the torturer's head confronts them with their own limits and the ambivalence of the project itself.

Le llevó dos años a Mehran Tamadon persuadir a los cuatro simpatizantes del régimen iraní para arriesgarse a tomar parte en un experimento con él. Ahora los recibe como invitados en la casa de campo de su familia para intentar instaurar algo que no existe en Irán: una sociedad plural. Mientras las mujeres desaparecen en las habitaciones de invitados, los hombres hablan sobre las ventajas y las desventajas de una sociedad secular, el velo, el aborto, la liberta de prensa…(FILMAFFINITY)
