Hirschfield Series - Closed Curtain

(Jafar Panahi, Iran, 2013, 106 minutes)

In a secluded house by the sea with the curtains shut, a screenwriter hides from the world with only his dog as company. The tranquility is abruptly broken one night by the arrival of a young woman fleeing from the authorities. Refusing to leave, she takes refuge in the house. But come dawn, another unexpected presence will change everything. “The journey is often challenging, but the rewards—heady, emotional, provocative and invigorating—are endless.”––Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York. In Persian with English subtitles.
