The house under the water
Sepideh Farsi
After many years in prison, Morteza is released from prison. His wife and friends have left him. Actually the former smuggler wanted to end his life. After the unsuccessful attempt to save a boy from drowning in a lake, he again ends up at the police station. He shares a dark secret with Taher, the investigating police officer. This secret not only reaches back 30 years but also has been buried deep below the surface of the lake. With dramatic images, the director Sepideh Farsi tells an almost classic tragedy which is carried by little dialogue and the impressive performance of the two main actors Masoud Reygan and Bijan Enkanian.
The visually stunning film was supported by the Hessian Film Fund.
