THE MANCHADOR
Iran, Norwat y 2019 / Dir: Kaveh Tehrani / farsi / Norwegian subtitles/ 20 min

As the title suggests, Kaveh Tehrani's new and fascinating short film makes a funny twist on the use of the religious robe chador. Mina and Saeed lead a hectic life in the Iranian capital Tehran, balancing work and family. But being a woman in Iran is not easy, and she is tempted by the freedoms of living abroad. One day, Saeed invents a piece of clothing that places the burden of wearing the hijab where it belongs – with the men whose looks women need protection from.
