This fly-on-the-wall look at several weeks in an Iranian divorce court provides a unique window into the strength, ingenuity, and guile with which women fight for their rights. The women ferociously plead, argue, lie, demand and state their case before the judge, clerks and the “film ladies,” who find themselves included in the proceedings as counsel, witness and confidante.
