Darbareye Elly



Three Iranian families travel to the North of the country in order to introduce a teacher of one of the families’ children to a recently divorced member of the family. Everything looks to be going well until Elly suddenly disappears. Is she alive, is she dead? As the story unfolds details about the characters unravel as the truth lays itself bear for everyone to see. The movie is powerful and gripping throughout and the slow unraveling of the plot is fantastic. If this is a snippet of what Iranian movies are all about I will certainly be coming back for more. 5/5 stars
