Yes, there is bloody action and plenty of it...

...[a] striking, semi-autobiographical portrait of a girl growing up in Tehran.

Stilistisk brillerer filmen med flere fintmærkende stemningsmontager med brug af flotte pangfarver fra hele paletten.

With the ticking of Ava’s metronome, we sense for her that simmer will eventually rise to a boil.
