Accusation

2010, Persian. Directed by Mehrdad Farid.

In this satirical comedy, which pokes fun at the oppressive treatment of journalists in Iran, Ehsan is an endlessly down-on-his-luck journalist struggling with a messy divorce. So even when he finds success writing an article about superstitious beliefs amongst the urban middle classes, his new found popularity turns out to be a burden. His work is misinterpreted by the authorities, who attempt to imprison him for fraud. Aided by the quirky and flirtatious Nasim, he sets out on a desperate bid to save himself, uncovering a web of shadowy conspirators as he goes. But with his superstitious ex-wife at the centre of the conspiracy, can Ehsan clear his name?
