Oboor az Marz-e Shab
A love story caught between faith and belonging.
The story in brief
Farhad and Marguerite fall in love across a religious divide. When the expectations of their communities collide with their relationship, every possible future carries a cost.
About the project
For Farhad and Marguerite, falling in love is the beginning of a conflict rather than its resolution. Their relationship crosses a boundary that the world around them is unwilling to ignore. Belief, family and social pressure turn an intimate story into a tragedy about the limits placed on personal choice.
