Critical Zone
Ali Ahmadzadeh / IR, DE, 2023 / 99 min.
In the dark of the Iranian night Amir meets drug addicts, smugglers, sex workers and a mother desperately looking for help for her addict son. Dissident director Ahmadzadeh filmed the grim reality of Iran, without permission from the authorities.
Kind-hearted Amir leads a solitary life. He drives around Teheran at night selling drugs, with only his dog for company. Along the way, Amir offers a helping hand, listens and provides a shoulder to cry on, as well as taking care of lost souls like a modern-day prophet. Despair and fury shine through his customers’ hunger for the next drug-induced high. Amir aimlessly drives around the streets of a city without a future, his GPS acting as his guide. Should he get out of this place, or is there still a spark of resistance inside him?
