Iranian Film Showcase: Boomerang
January 18 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Tired of her marriage to Behzad, Sima is looking for a new home for herself and her teenage daughter Minoo, without telling him. Meanwhile, we see Behzad arranging a chance meeting with his ex-girlfriend in the hope of rekindling their intimacy.
At the same time, the film follows Minoo, who casually takes the initiative at a traffic light and begins a flirt with Keyvan. As if by magic, she knows his name and the two begin to share their innermost thoughts.
Over the course of a week, the film paints a sociological snapshot of modern Tehran. As the marriage of two people from a seemingly hopeless and defeated generation comes to an end, a young romance is beginning to emerge in a generation that is discovering the city and its political realities in a new way. Showing Saturday, January 18 at 1 p.m.
