The fun starts right away as they quickly catch on the plan of lively Sepideh, who has brought along Elly, her daughter's kindergarten teacher, in hopes of setting her up with recently divorced Ahmad. But seemingly trivial lies, which start accumulating at the seashore, suddenly swing round and come back full force when one afternoon Elly suddenly vanishes.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Multi perspective movie submitted by willow on August 10, 2016, 2:51pm This movie starts out like an ordinary movie, with a group of friends traveling to a seaside weekend. Then things begin to get a bit awkward, and then, eventually, troubling. Then we see things from different perspectives and become less sure about what we know. The movie leaves some of these questions unanswered, and is a thoughtful one. I recommend anything by Asghar Farhadi; his other movies can be a bit hard to find in the catalog because his name is spelled a few different ways. Persevere!
