BAFTA winning 2016 film written and directed by Iranian-born Babak Anvari in his directorial debut.
Set in 1980s war-torn Tehran, Narges Rashdi starred as medical student Shideh who is unable to continue her studies to become a doctor because of her political beliefs. As the war in Tehran worsens, she opts to stay in her home in the city with her daughter Dorsa, despite the protests of her husband Iraj, who is called into military service. However the story becomes sinister as Shideh becomes increasingly worried about her daughter and is gradually convinced that evil spirits are at work.
The film was nominated for Outstanding British Film of the Year at the 2017 BAFTAs, with director/writer Babak Anvari winning a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. It was also selected as the British entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards.
