In the the tumultuous neighborhoods of Tehran, in the winding streets and alleys and displaced and confused in every little houses... Does this the rummage will be the end?

It’s 1988 and, at the height of the Iran-Iraq War, Tehran is bombed relentlessly. The days that pass are full of foreboding, and yet, love, affection, hope and life itself manage to sweep away the fear of death from those surrounded by it. Love may often be difficult to comprehend, but death is a horrible certitude. ‘Bomb, A Love Story’ shows how, even when faced with the darkness of death, love and hope will find a way.

In order to prepare her best and brightest for the upcoming chemistry Olympiad, strict, conservative headmistress Ms. Darabi is forced to break her lifelong rule of not allowing male teachers in the school and reluctantly hires the bumbling Mr. Jebeli. Little does she know though that several of her students, led by the self-assured Paria, have a plan to get her to fall in love with him. 'No Men Allowed' is a hilarious, rollicking romcom, chock-full of witty dialogue and zany antics that will have you coming back time and time again!

An orange Chevrolet Impala drives across a cemetery towards an abandoned shipwreck in the middle of a desert landscape. It is the 22nd of January, 1965. The day before, the Iranian prime minister was shot dead in front of the parliament building. Inside the wreck, a banished political prisoner has hung himself. The walls are covered in diary entries, literary quotes and strange symbols. Can they help Police Inspector Babak Hafizi in his investigations? Will they shed any light on why there is always an earthquake whenever somebody is buried in this desert cemetery?

초반부부터 마약 단속반 형사 사마드가 마약범 나세르를 추격하는 모습을 엄청난 속도감으로 보여준다. 일반적인 장르영화라면 추적과 체포 과정을 절정부에 배치해 카타르시스를 배가시키겠지만, 이 영화는 중반쯤에 사마드가 나세르를 붙잡는 데 성공하는 장면을 보여준다. 하지만 영화의 본격 시작은 이때부터다. 나세르가 잡혀 들어간 유치장은 난장판이 되고 사마드조차 통제 불능의 상태가 된다. 이란의 마약 중독자가 650만 명에 달한다는 의미의 제목처럼, 거리에서 마약을 없애려는 사마드의 시도는 시시포스의 형벌을 닮은 듯 보인다.
