ZibaFeature Film 

 

Actor

  • 2012

  • Written and directed by Bani Khoshnoodi​

​

Ziba is an upper-class housewife in today's modern Tehran. Unable to relate to her environment or her alienating life, she lives within a repetitive cycle, unable to express to those around her what is wrong. But one long summer day, Ziba finds herself in an unexpected situation in the company of people unknown to her, confronted with her own choices and indecisions. Not a character portrait per se, this film serves as a visceral metaphor for the prevailing state of oppression and silence in Iran today.
