Café Setareh

Three women who live in a poor neighborhood in Tehran actively seek a better life in this contemporary slice of Iranian life. This film focuses on Fariba, Saloomeh, and Moluk in a triptych of warm-hearted, interwoven stories. Fariba operates the cafe of the title, while her alcoholic, unemployed husband sponges off her; Saloomeh debates on whether to marry Ebi, whose one good deed doesn't make up for his mean streak; and Moluk, a middle-aged landlady, pines for a man who has his own problems. Directed by Saman Moghadam, this film offers an authentic portrait of women.
