Iranian
Mehran Tamadon / 105 min / 2014
Mehran Tamadon, an atheist from Iran, has managed to convince four mullahs, supporters of the Islamic Republic of Iran, to come and live with him for two days. In this closed-door setting, debates mingle with daily life, constantly raising the question: how can we live together when everyone's apprehension of the world is so opposed?
