The Persian Rug
The Persian Rug is an intimate portrait of a young Iranian woman navigating the tension between autonomy and belonging. As moments from her life overlap and echo, she becomes increasingly aware of the quiet compromises she has made to remain connected to family and culture.
When these internal negotiations reach a breaking point, she must confront a choice that will redefine her sense of self. The film unfolds through emotional continuity rather than linear time, allowing memory and present experience to inform one another.
Restrained and performance-driven, The Persian Rug explores how personal freedom is often claimed not through dramatic rebellion, but through the quiet courage to accept loss.
