    The Marriage Project

    Hesam Eslami Atieh Attarzadeh 2020 France, Iran, Qatar Docu color 80min Persian DCP
    ★ 2020 the 51st Visions du Réel International Film Festival in Switzerland

    Encourage the patients from a mental hospital to form relationships with each other, get married and live as a family. That’s the bold new idea of the head of Ehsan House in Southern Tehran. For the past 20 years, its 480 patients have lived in separate male and female units with no hope of ever leaving or of having meaningful sexual relationships. A sensitive and delicate film on personal relationships and the complex notion of madness.
