Zusammenfassung:It's tough to get divorced in Iran. Yet fundamentally, people are no different than they are anyplace else when it comes to he-said, she- said marital discord ... This film shows the amazing determination of several wives who've had it with husbands on a variety of counts - infidelity, impotence or the failure to provide financial support. And it's clear from their anguished accounts that the men they want to dump are louts. Filming, by documentarians Kim Longinotto and Ziba Mir-Hosseini, was done in a Tehran family law court. The place is a messy bastion of Islamic and civil law having to do with conjugal rights. Wives don't have anything close to equal protection. But that doesn't stop them from petitioning for divorce from a Kafkaesque bureaucracy - one that can be oddly democratic, too. Everybody weighs in with an opinion - even the moralistic court clerk. With hardly any narration, the film captures the emotions of spousal charges, countercharges, defenses and pleadings ranging from brutally sarcastic to despairing. [www.sfgate.com]
