2013 · Film
Released in 2013, Hichestan is a notable film directed by Darioush Rezvani.
What it’s about. Bahram (Parviz Ghodsi) illegally emigrates with his wife Fariba (Tarlan Taeyban) and daughter Bahar (Alisha-Mey) from Iran to the UK in search for a better life and to try to find a treatment for his sick child. Initially hosted by Bahram's brother-in-law, the family is confronted with the obstacles that the "Neverland" has to offer; from the lack of appropriate employment opportunities to the ultimate breakage of the marriage. The wealthy hosting family rather than being helpful eventually causes unsolvable clash between Bahram and Fariba. This captivating film exposes the problems of illegal immigration; spouses' conflicting attitudes towards behaving in a foreign land as well as a tough dilemma whether to remain loyal to one's roots and beliefs or to earn a better life through dodgy actions.
