Ab va Atefeh
A portrait of a strong-willed woman who has returned from abroad to live in an arid region of Iran. While the entire nation suffers from draught, Atefeh makes every effort to irrigate her farmland. Pushing and pulling, sweet-talking and negotiating tough, she works with government engineers and workers to lead natural ground water to her fields. Her hard-working energy and independent presence can only hint at how difficult it is to live a solitary life of a widowed woman.
