SONBOL
ES ES-OVNI RSC-3312 · Item · 2008
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

“Why can't you actually find a man?” Sonbol is asked by her mother. The answer is silence. Sonbol Fatemi is 35: she is attractive, single and divorced, has her own dentist surgery, likes to tell dirty jokes and has a passion for car races - competing against men. Sonbol lives in the holy city Mashad, in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Living a life like this in Iran means that she has to fight everyday. Against her mother who would love to arrange another marriage for her. Against the sports administration that wants to exclude women from rallyes altogether. And not least, against her own doubts about God and whether He is actually by her side. SONBOL gives a unique insight into a torn society by painting the portrait of an extraordinary and unconventional woman who pays a high price in order to be her self.
