Shabeh Golestan Tanha Singer: Dariush Rafie Composer: Majid Vafadar Lyrics: Mahmoud Sanae
"Mahin" (Lily Farhadpour) is a lonely, widowed, retired nurse who has lived alone for many years when she overhears a conversation in the state pensioners’ cafe that indicates that the taxi driver "Faramarz" (Esmaeel Mehrabi) is also single. She pretty quickly decides to follow him and next thing she knows she’s in his cab. It’s not like she’s a cougar, nor is he a womanizer – they’re just two older people who click at the idea of something a little “extra” at the end of their rain-soaked day.
The largest bottle of wine you’ve ever seen is duly produced, and you can guess what’s on the cards
except? Well, you can also assume that things won’t go to plan either – and we’re given a few subtle clues along the way to manage our expectations as this really quite funny and naughty story unfolds. Farhadpour is genuinely endearing as she charms her new boyfriend, and there’s a lovely, soft chemistry between the two, as most of the plot takes place in her house as they make sure not to involve the dreaded morality police who might arrive and punish them – even in their old age – for being alone in her home together!
Indeed, what also helps this work is the gentle way in which it makes some pretty strong points
On the age, age assumptions – true, but it also looks at a wider society that still treats women as less free citizens, thanks to their testicular doppelgangers. Most of all, I thought it was really quite funny and delivered a message of confidence, shyness, optimism and hope, tempered with a bit of dark humor – especially at the end. I’m not entirely sure she could have baked the cake in the exact time suggested, but it looked delicious!
