Ame Pasand (عامه پسند) is a 2018 Iranian drama written, directed, and produced by Sohail Biragi. The film follows a middle-aged woman who, after years of tireless dedication to building a life, discovers her husband's betrayal and resolves to reclaim herself by returning to her hometown and starting anew.
Yet her journey of self-reinvention is met not with support but with resistance — the community she hoped would welcome her back refuses to accept the changes she has embraced. Biragi crafts an intimate portrait of a woman caught between social expectation and personal freedom, a tension deeply familiar in contemporary Iranian society.
Selected for the prestigious Simorgh Souda section of the 38th Fajr Film Festival, Ame Pasand is a quietly powerful film about courage, identity, and the cost of breaking the mould. Stream it now on Top Local Videos.
