Written and directed by Ghasem Ebrahimian
A well-to-do Iranian, Haji, arrives in Manhattan from Teheran with his reluctant
new bride. Overcome by nostalgia for the old country, his closest friends hold
a traditional feast. But a bizarre series of
events ends with Haji's death — leaving behind a beautiful, bewildered
widow... and four zealous suitors.
Playing with the tensions of strangers in a strange land, Ghasem Ebrahimian's
intriguing first feature is a witty, dark comedy.
With Pouran, Ali Azizian, Shahab Navab, Assurbanipal Babila.
“Part Hitchcock, part Lucille Ball!"-
New York Times
"A masterstroke of black comedy!" - LA
Weekly
"A riveting, deliciously macabre tale of cultural alienation.
Pouran is mesmerizing."
