Tehran is the capital of Iran, in the north of the country. Its central Golestan Palace complex, with its ornate rooms and marble throne, was the seat of power of the Qajar dynasty. The National Jewelry Museum holds many of the Qajar monarchs’ jewels, while the National Museum of Iran has artifacts dating back to Paleolithic times. The Milad Tower offers panoramic views over the city.
Darband, formerly a village close to Tajrish, Shemiran, is a neighborhood inside Tehran's metropolitan limits. It is the beginning of a hiking trail into Mount Tochal, which towers over Tehran. The Persian term darband translates to "door of the mountain".
Darband (2013)
This fascinating moral thriller is centered on the bristling relationship between two very different young women in contemporary Tehran. Moving to the city for her studies and desperate for a place to live, the quiet, scholarly Nazanin (Nazanin Bayati) rents a room from vivacious shop girl Sahar (Pegah Ahangarani). The two become unlikely companions as Sahar coerces Nazanin into joining her circle of friends. But when Sahar ends up in trouble, Nazanin is drawn into a complex web of debt and deception that surrounds her roommate. With pitch-perfect performances by the two female leads, 'Trapped' draws an intelligent portrait of the subtleties of inter-personal power dynamics.
