Soheila No. 17

2018       Iran       80 minutes       15+

Soheila No.17 is about an older woman desperate to get married, but will she be able to have children? It’s an unusual theme for an Iranian film. As with Ghafari’s previous film, It’s a Dream, it poses questions about gender equality through an assertive and dynamic heroine.
