Babak Payami’s debut feature introduces a filmmaker of promise whose stylistic touch is worthy of the late Iranian master Sohrab Shaheed Saless (Still Life). The story concerns the quiet, undeclared relationship that gradually develops between a man and a woman who see each other every morning at a bus stop. By isolating his characters against the bustling backdrop of Tehran streets and its crowded, segregated buses, the Canadian-trained Payami makes a restrained but effective commentary on the segregation of sexes in an emotionally besieged society.
