The Story of Moragheb (Falling House): A Film That Won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress Award
The Story of Moragheb: A Family Trapped Inside Its Own Home
The story begins with an apparently ordinary working-class family living outside Tehran.
The family home is modest.
It is not presented as a luxurious property or a symbol of wealth.
But it is their home.
It represents stability.
It represents family history.
It represents protection from the outside world.
That stability is threatened when a major redevelopment project puts the property in the path of demolition.
The family therefore faces displacement.
At exactly the same time, Rashid’s professional life begins to collapse.
He works as a prison guard.
After a serious professional mistake, his job security is placed in jeopardy.
His position, authority and identity are suddenly unstable.
The man responsible for controlling prisoners is no longer certain that he can control his own future.
