Please Don’t Disturb

Please Don’t Disturb

Director: Mohsen Abdul Vahab

Country: Iran

Language : Arabic

A rising TV host follows his wife and tries to persuade to change her mind, who announced to divorce him for the domestic violence. A Muslim scholar who lost his money and documents endures the hardship to retrieve them. An old couple hires a repairman but they are so anxious to let him in their house.
Please Don’t Disturb unfolds the three stories dealing with moral contradiction and dilemma with a backdrop of present Tehran. Documentary-like objective camera maintains its observing manner while it moves one story to another and one character to another. The film shows how easy the ethical value, religious conviction or human sympathy can be shaken by an insignificant incident and how easy they can be compromised. On the flip side, this film provides the opportunity to look at women’s issue in Iran implied with divorce and remarriage. In the end, Please Don’t Disturb becomes reportage of social value of ever changing Tehran.
