World War III

A film by Houman Seyedi

Back
Shakib (Mohsen Tanabandeh) is a homeless day labourer who lost his wife and his son in an earthquake years ago. Over the last couple of years, he has been in a relationship with Ladan (Mahsa Hejazi), a deaf and mute prostitute. The construction site on which he works turns out to be the set of a film about the atrocities committed by Hitler during WWII. Against all odds, he is given a house and an opportunity of a lifetime. When Ladan learns about his movie role and the house, she comes to his workplace asking for help and a place. Shakib’s plan to hide her fails and threatens to destroy his chance to be somebody.
