Three Faces

The famous Iranian actress Behnaz Jafari receives a disturbing video in which a young girl from a small country village reports her desperation at the fact that her conservative family will not allow her to go to a university. To find out if the video is auhentic, Jafari and her friend, director Jafar Panahi, set off to the girl's village in the remote mountains of northwestern Iran. Here, they encounter a tight-knit community that is characterised both by a generous hospitality and a strict adherence to a traditional way of life.
