Q&A WILL FOLLOW THE FILM.
Pari and Farhad are a middle-class family who are both involved in theatre and cinema. They love each other and are happy with their son, though Pari unwantedly becomes pregnant. Farhad insists on abortion but Pari believes the abortion is inhuman and cannot accept her husband’s idea. A baby, who has to possibly make a family life happier, causes some serious changes in their situation.
“Being Born succeeds at tackling love, sacrifice, religion, and gender through a touching intimate portrayal of a couple struggling to reconcile their opposing desires. If it seems to be particularly “of the moment”, given its theme, it approaches it through a universal lens that many audiences will be able to relate to, while also attuning them to the specificity of 2016’s Tehran.” Eastern Kicks
