CGiii Comment

An 80's Set Iranian Reimagining of Fassbinder's 'Petra Von Kant'

A Farsi-language retelling set around a high society fashion designer who has fled Iran for London on the brink of the 1979 Islamic revolution. While her country falls apart, she descends into mind games and manipulation over the elderly housekeeper (Pari Armian) who raised her — and the new muse who disrupts her world (Melina Farahani).
