Maryam (26) is \u201ctemporarily married\u201d to Naser (65). She accidentally kills him, but is pregnant with his child. In Iran, only a victim\u2019s family can forgive the killer. For Maryam, this pardon plays out on the country\u2019s most popular reality show. She quickly discovers that nothing is what it seems, including her own family. She must choose between her child and her life, in front of millions of viewers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Script & intention
\n<\/em>Trained in the strong documentary tradition of the Iranian cinema, I write my films in relation with the realities of the Iranian society. My first feature film, A Respectable Family, was based on my childhood memories of the Iraq-Iran war. Despite its selection at the Cannes Film Festival and both critics\u2019 and audience\u2019s acclaim of the film abroad, it was banned in Iran and aroused an extreme anger among the Iranian authorities who brought proceeding againts me. After the last general election, the new administration closed the case, which was similar to a Kafka\u2019s story and made me seriously think about the issues of \u00ab\u00a0Justice\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0Forgiveness\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0Truth\u00a0\u00bb. It is also inspired by real facts. I worked years ago on a documentary about women who where sentenced to death for having killed their husbands. The images of these women and their heartbreaking stories, which told of being subjected to a blind, deep form of violence, remained within me.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yalda is a reflection of all these thoughts.
\n<\/em>Yalda tells the story of a 26 years old woman who\u2019s been sentenced to death for having murdered her rich 65 years old husband. She is invited to the most popular live TV reality show in Iran to be possibly forgiven by the only daughter of the victim who has got the retribution right. A similar show really exists and inspired me to tell the whole story on the stage and in the backstage of the live show.
\n<\/em>The story narrates the struggle of the female characters against a patriarchal system. It is also a film about revenge. A story in a society where tradition and modernity conflict with one another and the heavy weight of transition relies on the women\u2019s shoulders.
\n<\/em>From my earlier documentaries up to A Respectable Family, the women of my country and their lives, hopes, dreams and problems have been at the center of my attention. Nevertheless I can call Yalda my most female film. All the women of the film are condemned but each of them resists and fights in one way or another.<\/em><\/p>\n
