Directed by Mariam Shahriar

A young woman disguises herself as a boy so that she can work long, hard hours in a carpet workshop to support her family. Honored as Best First Feature at the Montreal Festival of World Cinema, Mariam Shahriar's debut shows an "unusual gift for expressive imagery" (Leslie Camhi, The Village Voice). Farsi with English subtitles.  90 minutes.
