Head to Head
6.7
Bahar is an acclaimed Iranian director, having made numerous films selected in international festivals. So when she casts actors and asks them to wear women’s outfits for her latest film, they agree in the hope of an international career — or even a visa to leave the country. But wearing skirts and headscarves under the heat is harder than they expected … as is the hit to their pride.
