DC Festival of Films from Iran

6 in the Morning

6 in the Morning is essentially two films: The first half is the bittersweet story of a young Iranian woman leaving friends and family for a new life overseas. The second is a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Sara is due at the airport at 6 a.m. to fly to Canada to study for her doctorate. She attends a late-night goodbye party thrown by her friends, planning to go directly to the airport afterwards. There is drinking, dancing, unrelated men and women mingling—all illegal acts in Iran. Then the morality police show up. Sara’s friends are arrested after hiding her in their apartment, which is now locked and sealed with police tape. Will she escape and begin her new life, or will her bright future come to a sudden end?
