Program Note
The film is a satirical comedy based on current Iranian politics, with hilarious actions by impulsive characters. Samadhi is a busy right-wing activist, making trouble with everyone and taking on roles no one asked of him. He is shouting out slogans and making speeches, and is constantly berating young people—that hijab is crooked, your hair is too long—because he can’t bear to see western culture creeping in. Reckless activist Samadhi’s big dream is to become a congressman to share his political philosophy. Then he gets lucky. When Samadhi is causing a scene in an attempt to disrupt a rock concert attended by famous politicians, a bomb goes off. Suddenly Samadhi is a hero who saved 300 civilians, and now all politicians want him on their side. The Reformed party makes him their face for the new election, and to make his dream come true, Samadhi becomes even more brazen. The havoc he wreaks reminds us of an actual famous politician in Iran. You will be surprised at this funny, witty, and warm Iranian comedy. (Jeong Minah)
