For more information and showtimes, click here. Set in modern-day Iran, “The Girl’s House” opens with Bahar (Pegah Ahangarani) and Parisa (Baran Kosari), two college-aged girls who are last-minute shoe-shopping for their friend Samira’s (Rana Azadivar) wedding. The wedding, which is scheduled for the following day, is to be a segregated wedding — one where the men and women are separated. Although a segregated wedding is unheard of in American culture, this little detail is our first introduction into some of the Islamic cultural beliefs prominent throughout this Persian film. Another example would be that the actresses wear hijabs — veils that cover the hair of post-pubescent Muslim women.
