Narratives ad hominem 2023

Directed by Rakhshan Banietemad

The emergence of the Coronavirus disease in late 2019 and its rapid spread throughout the world in 2020 made an indelible impact upon countless lives, transforming so many in a multitude of ways. This profoundly personal narrative details the efforts of a documentary filmmaker to portray the lives of six characters in quarantine and how it affects them. There is also the filmmaker’s own personal situation – he cannot go to his wife because of the curfew imposed by the government. Through this, he finds common ground with his subjects.
