A Time in Eternity

A grieving single mother in Tehran, haunted by her husband's disappearance, is drawn into a mysterious journey that will test her sanity, awaken her spirit, and force her to confront the social injustice and regain her independence. Maryam clings to the fading hope that her missing husband will return, but that hope is slowly destroying her. Her relationship with her teenage daughter is strained, and her controlling brother-in-law looms over their lives, hiding desire behind tradition. When a mysterious stranger enters her world, calm and unnervingly perceptive, he awakens a dormant strength within her. As visions haunt her and questions mount, Maryam sets out with her daughter to retrace her husband's final steps. What begins as a search for truth becomes a journey into the unknown-forcing Maryam to confront secrets, illusions, and the forces that have held her captive. This is the story of a woman on the edge, and the spiritual awakening that leads her back to herself. —Mehdi Norowzian
