Saba is about that Duty, love and longing are all themes that intertwine seamlessly in this beautifully shot drama. When her sister dies, the caring, dutiful Saba is left to take care of her niece along with her own son. Saba is a loving woman who connects instantly with her beaming, spirited young niece. Whilst Saba works as a dressmaker, and takes care of both children, it is apparent she longs for something more. This touching and poignant short film gives the audience a nuanced character study and leaves them truly rooting for Saba to find happiness.

Party is about that This understated, lackadaisical drama sees a grandmother ferried across the alleyways of a city by her young grandson to visit her daughter's grave. The opening shots show pieces of wool being tossed onto a trolley and the stirrings of a busy marketplace. Then the boy arrives to collect his silent grandmother, on a makeshift cart. Sauntering overhead shots and soft sitar music contribute to the meandering sense of 'Party', as the boy struggles over bumpy back alleys to finally reach his mother's grave. In this film Roghaye Tavakoli (رقیه توکلی) collaborates with Reza Hamasi (رضا حماسی), Samsam Hamasi (صمصام حماسی)
