At the times when the world is being terrorized by the fear of the third world war, we watched a film that speaks against any kind of discrimination and very tenderly says: life is the best plan. The wonderful actress is taking off her mask et pulls back her energy. It seems that she has nothing in her life, but she has life.

Tenuun-Erdene Garamkhand, for his interpretation of the young Tuntuulei in Harvest Moon by Amarsaikhan Baljinnyam
(European Premiere | Mongolia, 2022 | 90’ | Fiction)

The short film that won us over both in form and content is a film that speaks about serious issues with a disconcerting humour and a subtle intelligence. A film that addresses the issue of the hijab in Iran while inverting the capillary roles (a woman with a shaved head and a man with long hair). A film that manages to show the absurd violence of the morality police in Tehran while delivering crazy dialogues about argan oil shampoos for split ends. Busting taboos by liberating hair!
