Chaharshanbeh, 19 Ordibehesht

Another fine drama from Iran, dealing with a Samaritan's moral dilemma in deciding who to financially assist amongst the underprivileged in an unjust society. He has to choose between two women in dire need of help to better their life's. The chose is difficult, but will it release the burden he carries?

Overall the film is an insightful look into the Iranian way of life and the struggles of those with health issues, as well as those harshly done by the unjust laws. It is a morale crusade without being too loud, underplayed like a perfect drama, revealing the stories with patience and real emotion.

The director and crew have crafted a well thought out drama that keeps you enthralled. But it is the performances that draws you in. At times I felt like I was an observer of some reality based documentary. The actors did a masterful job, making this film worth every minute of your time.
