Synopsis

In her second narrative feature, Karimi presents a gorgeous minimalist portrait of a woman crushed by indecision. At first it seems that graphic designer Shahrzad (played by Karimi) goes about her daily life with placid ease, but her surface stillness masks a maelstrom of weighty decisions she desperately wishes to avoid making.
