伊朗導演約化巴納希再次突破禁拍令，更在新作粉墨登場，與女星 Behnaz Jafar用偽紀錄片訴說心中的故事。一天，Behnaz收到了一 段令人不安的自殺視頻，視頻中一個年輕土耳其女孩求救，希望逃離保守家庭。Behnaz向導演好友巴納希求助，二人於是動身前往阿塞拜疆，到與世隔絕的山區尋找這位女孩所在的村落。在這裡，古老的傳統依然主宰當地人的每日生活，揭示出民族、性別、宗教的不公平以及社會的窘困。當創作權利被剝削、甚至人身自由也被限制，約化巴納希與女孩一樣向壓逼說不，用電影救起夢想。就算他被軟禁而不能離開伊朗，康城評審仍然向他投橄欖枝，授予他最佳劇本獎。

Iran’s Jafar Panahi (Taxi) continues to courageously defy the powers that be with this one-of-a-kind road movie, the filmmaker’s fourth film since he was slapped with a 20-year filmmaking ban in 2010. Behnaz Jafari (playing herself) receives a disturbing video from a distraught young girl from the countryside whose parents forbid her from becoming an actress. Worried for her well-being, Jafari asks Panahi (also playing himself) to accompany her on a search for the girl. Once again blurring the line between fact and fiction, Panahi’s road movie is a fascinating and introspective contemplative of sexism, oppression and censorship in contemporary Iran.
