This film was done with many non-professional actors to tell a story of
unrequited love in Teheran. Lateef, an Iranian, is a young man whose
only concern is with making money in his job as a construction worker.
He happens upon Rahmat, an illegal Afghani immigrant whom he plays
malicious tricks on. Through their interaction, Lateef discovers that
Rahmat has disguised herself as a boy in order to stay in the country.
Lateef falls in love with the Rahmat and wants to make her life easier
when the company is ordered to fire all employees of Afghan descent, but
his love only leads to more heartache. This heartbreaking and timely
film is sure to send the message of the difficulties of life in present
day Teheran straight into the heart of your audience.
