IM BAZAR DER GESCHLECHTER
IN THE BAZAAR OF SEXES
HOME RUN. New Cinema from Austria
A lonesome middle-aged bachelor, a jovial young mullah and a divorced single mother are the protagonists of this intimate account of gender relations in Iran. Their stories revolve around the institution of temporary marriage, also called lust-marriage, a Shia practice that allows a man and a woman to legally marry for a fixed period of time ranging from one hour to 99 years. Religiously sanctified prostitution or a loophole for couples to have a relationship within the rigid Islamic laws? Religious dogma meets macho sentimentality meets female realities.
