Une famille respectable
Iran
Massoud Bakhshi
Arash is an Iranian academic who lives in the West. He returns to Iran to teach in Chiraz, a city far from Tehran where his mother lives. Drawn into a series of domestic and financial dramas, he is reminded of the hardships of his childhood at the start of the Iran-Iraq War in 1981. Following the death of his father and the discovery of what his «respectable family» has become, he is obliged to make choices. Like a journey, the movie reflects the past years of Iran, its political developments and its society.
