She is placed in an extraordinary situation and as an audience we are not able to say if she is comfortable in her condition or if she is suffering. The film constantly flows between her past and her present; from reality to dreams. It shows the stretched moments of the afternoons past with a slow tempo and nostalgia that crescendo into the lonely present. >press release< Idea and Directing By Bahar Bahebanani Produced By Sam Nosratian Executive Producer Pooya Aryanpour Camera, Kaveh Shah M.L.
