Duality

One day at the beginning of spring in Tehran, a young couple, Tara and Nima, leave their home. Nima, after going to work, goes to a café after business hours to celebrate a colleague's birthday. As for Tara, she has been wandering through the market looking for a piece of fabric for the evening dress that she is supposed to be wearing the same evening at a wedding ceremony, an excuse to roam around the city in search of a place to bury her secrets. Later in the day, after a long argument, both of them set off, leaving the city in order to go to the wedding. Meanwhile, Aban, a girl newly involved in a love affair, meets her lover then sets out on another road. Their paths, both ordinary and fateful, begin to intersect and respond in a way that reaches beyond the limits of time and space. - Abbas Nezamdoost moves subtly between black and white and colour, mingles fragments of ordinary life and lyrical moments, at once boldly and delicately. �Duality' breaks with the classic forms of Ira- nian cinema and stands as the expression of a new aesthetic movement.
