Description

"Piyadeh" by Belgheis Soleimani tells the harrowing tale of a vulnerable and isolated woman navigating life in the sprawling metropolis of Tehran.

Karamat begins his university studies, but his behavior changes drastically, becoming suspicious and controlling, restricting Anis's freedom. The situation becomes even more complicated with the prolonged stay of a guest named Houshang. Anis finds herself increasingly distressed by Karamat's erratic behavior and the unsettling presence of Houshang.
