SPLIT ENDS

Short narratives

Director: Alireza Kazemipour

Length: 14 minutes

A bald girl  and a young boy with long hair whose car has been confiscated because he is not wearing a hijab are trying to solve their problem with the Tehran Morality Police without having to pay a fine. Police surveillance cameras have mistaken the boy for a woman because of his long hair, and the young girl, despite her shaved head, has to pay the fine simply because she’s a woman and the hijab law only applies to females. The two of them are hence resisting the police. Being humiliated by a police officer, they decide to punish the officer in their own way.
