Without Permission
7.8
An exiled Iranian filmmaker returns home after being denied permission for his scripted film. Determined to capture the voices of the new generation and their unfiltered thoughts on love, identity, and freedom, he turns to children, secretly filming in hidden locations. As he navigates societal and political barriers, his journey becomes a powerful exploration of self-expression in a controlled world.
