AT THE END OF NIGHT

Behnam and Mahi have built a middle-class life for themselves on the outskirts of Tehran, but their marriage is falling apart – a son with behavioural problems, strict parents, financial worries, and an intrusive state put additional pressure on the family. This Iranian miniseries by Ida Panahandeh and Amiri Arsalan feels like an emotional car crash in slow motion: piece by piece, a family falls apart. This is not a loud, explosive drama, but a collection of intimate, brilliantly written and outstandingly acted scenes from the everyday life of a modern marriage.
