It could be better

With all the clever and beautiful aspects of the movie, there are still basic details that are not observed and it is because the makers do not live in Iran.

A boring representation of contemporary life in Teheran

In present day Teheran, stories of multiple characters intertwine, presenting their everyday lives and their search of freedom and happiness. Although living in a very strict regime, plenty of acts, defined as taboo, undergo in the same place, providing an alternate way for people to reach their goals.It's a dark and also sad story about discrimination, especially towards women, which basically are not allowed to do anything without their husband's permission. Thus, some are forced to take desperate measures, venturing into places where different "shortcuts" can be taken with the right amount of cash, of course. As you're about to see, the black market can be full of surprises, more or less pleasant, depending on the case.It's a movie which describes in detail the struggles of Islamic women through the eyes of multiple characters. The story is far from impressive but I believe it delivers what it tries to. It shows the struggles, the ordeals that its characters, not very well described I have to add, have to face, hoping for a better life. The events are presented in parallel, in a very slow and boring manner, letting you wait a long time for something to happen. You can see it as a series of ordinary events, but it's not. Unfortunately, this is the impression that it leaves. Think of it as if it were to tell the boring story of someone's repetitive life, but with the emphasis on the ugly part. I understand that it's a very harsh life, full of discrimination, corruption and lots of other ugly aspects, but it would have been much better suited as a documentary. As a movie, it simply is boring as hell. Nothing interesting to be seen, mostly predictable, with boring characters and a mediocre story. Not to mention that the finale is as disappointing (if not worse) as the rest of the film, due to its sudden appearance, bringing little to no conclusion to the stories.You could find a good part in the visual department but as far as I'm concerned, it left much to be desired. It's an unique approach regarding this department, but one which didn't impress me at all. It's just OK. No pluses and no minuses.As a conclusion, I had better expectations from this movie regarding every single angle. I've seen a documentary disguised as an animation for the mature audience which didn't manage to bring anything that can make it worthwhile to be seen.
