Iran has been producing some of the best films for over the past 15-20 years, by several directors.
A middle-aged, middle-class couple, on an outing to an arid and abandoned area, find themselves isolated in a forgotten village. Trapped there, while her husband goes for spare parts for their broken vehicle, the woman is thrust into a life bereft of twentieth-century "improvements."
Because of obvious censorship, there are very quiet moments that have enormous significance and meaning in this film---- but only for the attentive viewer.
Don't expect melodramatic jiujitsu, trite rural, curmudgeonly characters with exaggerated mannerisms (Payne's, "Nebraska….."), and unrealistic histrionics to allow "actor" moments.
This is a quiet meditation on marriage, parenthood, and the responsibility of a human being to his neighbor, to strangers.
Okay, it does help that the central character is portrayed by the most beautiful face as ever has graced a film screen, that of Leila Hatami.
I now have watched this film three times and look forward to the fourth.
