As she roams the streets of Tehran in her car, a recently
divorced woman (Mania Akbari) chauffeurs a rotating cast of
passengers, from her combative young son to a heartbroken
wife abandoned by her husband to a defiant young sex worker
going about her job. Fully embracing the minimalist freedoms of digital filmmaking by shooting entirely on two cameras fixed
to the vehicle’s dashboard, Kiarostami crafts a miracle of slice-
of-life docufiction that probes the experiences of women in
contemporary Iran. Capturing revealing moments of everyday
human interaction, Ten uses its simple premise as a vehicle for
a remarkably rich, perceptive look at the tension between the
strictures of a patriarchal society and the universal need for
personal freedom.
