7th IN THE PALACE SHORT FILM FESTIVAL, 2009

Caught up in the middle of a divorce, shark obsessed oddball Boris persuades his parents to take him to the coast where a shark has been sighted, seeing it as the perfect opportunity to get them back together. The trip is ruined when Boris's mother brings her lover and he must face the fact that his parents are never going to be reconciled.

The window displays of the Tehran clothing shops catch the interest of passersby who stop and linger. Gradually, the onlookers meet the stares of the grotesquely mutilated mannequins, disturbing reproductions of the female figure. The female mannequins are mutilated in order to minimize the feminine characteristics, like a warning call sent to Iranian women and society, an absurd totem intended to perpetuate the established order.

An unsentimental observation of an ordinary day in the life of a non ordinary family. The mother cooks, the father delivers newspapers, and the son reads the paper with the aid of a magnifying glass he holds with his feet.

"Mrs G" is a puppet love story full of the funny situations that can occur during the co-existence of a man and his unusual female life-partner. You can expect humor, romance and at times even thrill.
