“In Tehran, 12-year-old twin sisters were found to have been imprisoned in their home by their parents since birth. This haunting fusion of documentary and fiction explores events following the discovery. Featuring those involved playing themselves, this key film from the Iranian New Wave was the astonishingly accomplished debut of filmmaker Samira Makhmalbaf, made when she was only 17 years old.” (BFI)
