Set in the Qajar era, the film tells the story of power struggles within a wealthy household after the death of the family matriarch. The film's slow-paced, poetic storytelling and carefully composed cinematography create a haunting atmosphere. Originally screened in 1976, it was quickly banned after the Iranian Revolution and remained unseen for decades. However, in 2020, a restored version was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, receiving international acclaim. 

This screening is organised in participation with Cinemaximiliaan and organiser and translater Rola Zamzameh.

In presence of Mohammad Reza Aslani, Gawan Fagard and Gita Aslani Shahrestani. Q&a by Rola Zamzameh (Cinemaximiliaan)
