The Apple
Based on a true incident and using the family involved, this unique film tells a bizarre but engaging story. In Tehran, two twin daughters live as virtual prisoners of their poor father and blind mother, locked behind bars for all of their 12 years. The father's argument is that: "My daughters are like flowers. They mustn't be exposed to the sun or they will soon fade. . ." A social worker tries to persuade the father to give them the freedom to explore the world beyond the gates of their home.
