Iranien

It took Mehran Tamadon, Iranian filmmaker exiled in France, laic and an atheist, three years to persuade four compatriots, advocates of the Iranian regime, to spend a few days with him in a country house so that they could all experience living on a plural society. During the time spent together, which the film documents, some controversial topics are discussed: advantages and disadvantages of a secular society, the use of veil, abortion and freedom of press. The guests are masters of rhetoric and skilful in twisting the host’s words. The plural society is due to fail its test as neither side is willing to let go of fundamental convictions, but was the experience really a failure?
