SPLIT ENDS (MOU KHOREH)

Directed By Alireza Kazemipour

Iran | Narrative | 14 min

A bald girl and a young boy with long hair, whose car has been confiscated due to lack of proper hijab, are trying to solve their problem with the Tehran Morality Police without paying a fine. Police surveillance cameras have mistaken the boy for a woman because of his long hair, and the young girl, despite her shaved head, has to pay the fine simply because she’s a woman and the hijab law only applies to females. The two of them are hence resisting the police. Humiliated by a police officer, they decide to punish the officer in their own way.
