Two Women - Do zan (DVD)
Country girl Fereshteh and city girl Roya,
schoolmates at Tehran University in the early '80s, become friends. Their
friendship and their innocent fun are clouded only by the presence of a
young man who stalks the pretty Fereshteh demanding that she marry him.
Family pressure once again decides Fereshteh's destiny, forcing her into a
marriage with a man she doesn't love. Her friend Roya, meanwhile, is living
precisely the sort of life that Fereshteh aspires to....
The two female characters in my film are a single person with two personalities -- the heroine's actual personality and her potential personality, what she is and what she wants to be but can't because of society and its mores. -- Tahmineh Milani
