What is Circumstance about? Toggle content

In the unseen world of Iranian youth culture, where underground parties and forbidden desires reign, two vivacious young girls, Atafeh and Shireen, navigate their burgeoning sexuality and the dangerous boundaries that come with it. Their lives take a complicated turn when Atafeh's brother, Mehran, returns home after a stint in rehab and becomes obsessed with Shireen, causing a rift in the once-strong bond between siblings. As the trio becomes embroiled in a web of deceit and desire, they must confront the harsh realities of living in a society that restricts their freedom and desires. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, Circumstance is a tense, sensual, and thought-provoking love story that sheds light on the struggles of two young women living in a society that refuses to accept their love.
