The Fourth of the four-part First Wednesday Film Series, "Religions and Traditions," presented by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. All film screenings are free and open to the public.
Movie Plot
A neo-realist drama with a sprinkling of feel good sentiment, the film is successfully carried by the understated simplicity of the central performance from Hossein Parastar as seminary student Seyyed Hassan. Nearing the completion of his studies, he has a marked reluctance to acquire the turban and robes that signal his final readiness to accept his calling as a mullah. Family traditions and expectations weigh heavily on his mind and he shrinks from the legacy of a grandfather whose spiritual influence was considerable. Hassan's doubts and uncertainties are contrasted with the total faith and commitment of a devout novice who wishes to do everything by the book.
