| description | Verzio FF
The ladies' room in the center of Tehran becomes a meeting point for prostitutes, drug addicts and runaways, women who reject conventional roles but seek mental comfort. The old woman who runs the place is a support figure for many younger women who are in need of advice, consolation, or just someone to share a joke with. Many intimacies are exchanged, many sad and tragic stories confessed. Nonetheless, the tone of the film is a playful one. The women smoke, gossip about their husbands, drink tea together and sing songs. The rest room becomes a shelter where the women can enjoy a little freedom. Everybody finds sympathetic listeners in this unusual place, a washroom, where they are unveiled, both physically and mentally. |
