We never doubt the sincerity of the emotions on display, or of the foretaste Circumstance provides of a society on the brink of radical change.

Both Boosheri and Kazemy are newcomers, but their spirited, tender performances -- from the eroticism to the shame and the flights of freedom -- feel completely, devastatingly real.
