Nahid

According to Iranian tradition, the child custody in the case of divorce automatically goes to the father. Nahid, recently separated from her spouse, has had the right to keep her ten year old son only if she never remarries. But her encounter with a man she loves and who wants to marry her, undermines her fragile situation. Buoyed by the remarkable performance of the actress Sareh Bayat, Nahid highlights the unfamiliar status of divorced women in Iran through a complex and moving woman's portrait.
