Film sous embargo

While Raman prepares to emigrate from Tehran, his friends plan the perfect farewell party. However, the preparations do not go smoothly.

The Crowd

Vertigo

An evocation of the life of the Austrian-born queen, unloved wife of Louis XVI, guillotined in 1793.
Just out of adolescence, a young girl discovers a hostile, codified world, a frivolous universe where everyone observes and judges the other without kindness.
Married to a clumsy man who neglects her, she quickly tires of the representational duties imposed on her.
She escapes into the intoxication of partying and the pleasures of the senses to reinvent a world of her own.
Is there a price to pay for seeking the happiness that some deny you?
