filip-sofia

A very strong film with a theme unlike all other Iranian films we have seen which focus mostly on personal issues in a changing -and not changing- society. The thematic is the millions of drug addicts in Iran and the fight of a few policemen to control it. The violence used by the police force is appalling as a paling are the conditions hundreds or thousands of homeless drug addicts live in. Also the personal stories of the two policemen in charge create doubts as to their integrity. Questions as where the state and social services are arise and if punishment of the culprits is enough to deal with the enormous problem. All in all a great film, a punch in the gut.
