Shayda
Shayda, a young Iranian woman living in Australia, finds refuge in a women’s shelter with her 6-year-old daughter, Mona. Having fled her husband, Hossein, and filed for divorce, Shayda struggles to maintain normalcy for Mona. Buoyed by the approach of Nowruz, she tries to forge a fresh start with new and unfettered freedoms. But when a judge grants Hossein visitation rights, he reenters their life, stoking Shayda’s fear that he’ll attempt to take Mona back to Iran.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
