"At school, do not talk to anyone about what is going on between you and your husband".(Hendi's mother issues some advice of a social nature to her daughter).
Yet another film from Iran's rich film landscape. Hendi & Hormoz had me hoping against all hope that this young couple could make it in the harsh world unfolding before them. Thirteen year old Hendi is married off to sixteen year old Hormoz in their little coastal industrial village. They are a sweet, playful couple who deserve to live as teenagers, without the complication of a forced marriage. Hormoz wants to be a provider but doors are continually slammed in his face. Then when their responsibilities escalate Hormos makes a decision which has us all holding our breath in the vain hope that the couple will prevail. It's a wonderful window into the art world of a country whose government is so strict about what can be produced. 9GUMS.
