Yönetmen Ali Soozandeh’nin kendi özgün senaryosundan beyazperdeye aktardığı Tehran Taboo, Tahran’da gençlerin kısıtlamalar ve kurallarla, yasaklara rağmen yaşama nasıl tutkuyla sarıldıklarını animasyonla gözler önüne seriyor. İlk gösterimini Cannes’da Eleştirmenler Haftası’nda gerçekleştiren filmin baş kahramanları, bu ağır yasaklar ve kuralların etrafından dolanmayı bir yaşam tarzına dönüştüren, üç genç kadın ve müzisyen bir adam. Tehran Taboo, sistemin ikiyüzlülüğünü ve çelişkilerini mizahı elden bırakmadan, insancıl bir yaklaşımla ele alıyor.

Tehran Taboo

Willibald Adrian Metzger restores old furniture, the beauty of which he admires with a good glass of red wine. The amiable loner visits his customers by bicycle because he does not have a driver's license. Usually he only pays attention to old cupboards and chests of drawers, but this time something else piques his interest: a beautiful woman bathing in a lonely mountain lake. The sight promptly knocks him out of the saddle - especially since it is his unfulfilled childhood love Danjela Djurkovic. She doesn't seem to recognize him anymore, because she is only interested in the macabre find at the place where they meet again: a severed finger that is stolen by a bird of prey in the next instant. Is that a dream Willibald and Danjela have a common goal, the Hotel "Sonnenhof" - from whose pool the corpse of a guest has just been fished. The police assume an accident. But before Willibald knows it, the curious Danjela has taken a farewell letter and the dead man's cell phone.
