The film is the latest to be screened by Halifax Film Society as part of its 50th anniversary season.

Writing in ‘The Observer’ critic Mark Kermode described the film as in turns both hilarious and heart-breaking.

The film also won the audience award at the Tromso International Film Festival and the Iranian Film Festival in 2016.
