Ten Abbas Kiarostami

Filmed entirely inside a car, a woman drives through the streets of Tehran, picking up and dropping off passengers--her son, a friend, her sister, a prostitute--as she runs errands and goes about her busy days. The title TEN represents the number of distinct conversations that the woman has with each of her passengers, reflecting on life and the status of women in modern-day Iran. Directed by Abbas Kiarostami (TASTE OF CHERRY, THE WIND WILL CARRY US).
