The Apple

In this Persian film with English subtitles, a father has imprisoned his children since the age of two. Meanwhile, 11 years have passed and now they are 13. But lack of any sort of exposure has made them retarded. The neighbours come to know of it and inform the welfare ministry. The girls get released for a while but soon are sent back to the father on the condition that they will not be locked up again. However, the father puts them under house arrest. But, soon a nurse arrives to take care of the children and slowly the children start getting a taste of social life and decide to face their father.

Director: Samira Makhmalbaf 2.30 pm onwards
