Emad and Rana are a happily married couple who live in Tehran. They are members of an amateur theatre group thats putting on a production of Arthur Millers Death Of A Salesman. After they are forced to leave their flat which is crumbling down and move into a new place, Rana is the victim of a violent attack. It turns out the flats former occupant was a prostitute and the attacker was probably one of her clients. Emad sets out to find him.
The Salesman is not just a drama but a meditation on the condition of women and the place of tradition in modern-day Iran. Rana decides not to go to the police a decision clearly influenced by her and Emads fear of what others might think.
A study on violence and how it can push even the wisest to seek revenge, the film also raises the universal question of forgiveness.
Carefully scripted to bypass censorship, The Salesman leaves a lot up to the viewer a freedom of interpretation we hope you will enjoy as much as we did. See you soon.
