The film "TEN" is divided into ten scenes, each of which depict a conversation between an unchanging female driver (played by Mania Akbari) and a variety of passengers as she drives around Tehran. Her passengers include her young son (played by Akbari's real life son, Amin Maher), her sister, a bride, a prostitute, and a woman on her way to prayer. One of the major plots during the film is the driver's divorce from her (barely seen) husband, and the conflict that this causes between mother and son.
It portrays a life of a Modern Iranian woman-showing her relationship between all the different players in here life. very inspiring and incredibly minimal in delivery.
YOU WILL BE HOOKED.
Another must see is the very popular graphic novel turned movie "PERSEPOLIS" by famous author and fellow illustrator Marjane Satrapi.
which also discusses life in Iran pre and post islamic revolution through the eyes of a young woman.
