Mrs. Iran's Husband

Directed by Marjan Khosravi

Sultan Mohammed is the ruler of the house in the heart of the mountains. The whole family must obey him. He does his best to be a powerful ruler for his wives.

Gender apartheid is front and centre in this pointed exploration of family and labour in Iran. Sultan Mohammad proposes taking a third wife as a way to maintain and expand his free labour force, to the consternation of his current wives.
