Nahid, a young divorcee, lives alone with her 10-year-old son in a small city on the Caspian Sea. According to Iranian tradition, custody reverts to the father. However, Nahid’s ex agreed to transfer it to her—provided she never remarries. But Nahid is in love with a man who has proposed to her.
An incisive portrait of the social stigmas surrounding remarriage in Iran, this sensitively observed domestic drama features a remarkable performance from Sareh Bayat (A Separation). The debut feature from Ida Panahandeh, Nahid marks the arrival of a striking new female voice in Iranian cinema.
