manifesto

A powerful manifesto against Iranian realities. A man and his solution for not wear hidjab for women. His pot of black honey ( the man chador ) has succes . For him becomes a way to live , in compact darkness .

The end is one of the most inspired.

Difficult to say what is the first virtue of this very smart, subtle and ironic short film. First, off course, the provocative idea.

Second - the acting.

Not the last, the feeling to discover a great indictment and the first scenes of film, like the last , are the key to the message of this film reminding , in good way , Jonathan Swift writings.

In short, a great film as precise manifesto .
