Mina's marriage has just ended, and with it most of the scaffolding holding her life up. Rage Khab, Hamid Nematollah's 2017 romance drama, follows what happens when a woman rebuilding from almost nothing meets a man who appears to offer everything — and keeps quietly asking how well she really knows him.
What is RageKhab about?
Divorce leaves Mina exposed on two fronts at once: money is running short, and the emotional ground under her feet is even thinner. Into that gap steps a man whose attention feels like rescue. She reads him as the answer to every question her new life is asking, and for a while the relationship gives her exactly the warmth and stability she has been missing. Yet small dissonances begin to surface — moments where the person in front of her does not quite match the one she fell for — and Mina must work out whether she has found a partner or simply a convincing first impression.
About the cast
Hamidreza Saeedikhah, Hosein Abadi, and Rana Cheshmazar make up the core ensemble around Mina's story. Nematollah has a reputation for drawing understated, lived-in performances from his casts, and here the acting stays deliberately small-scale: glances, hesitations, and half-finished sentences do much of the storytelling that dialogue leaves unsaid.
Context & significance
The title translates roughly as "the sleep vein" — a Persian idiom for the exact spot where a person can be soothed, or controlled. That double meaning sits at the centre of the film. Director Hamid Nematollah built his name on character-driven Iranian dramas, and Rage Khab arrived in 2017 as one of the more talked-about entries of its season, running 103 minutes and meeting a solid, unshowy reception. It belongs to a strand of Iranian cinema that treats romance less as escapism and more as a lens on dependency, class, and the cost of starting over as a divorced woman.
