Few Iranian films of 2019 arrived with the weight of Shabi ke Mah Kamel Shod (When the Moon Was Full): Narges Abyar's fact-based drama swept the top prizes at the 37th Fajr Film Festival and gave Elnaz Shakerdoost the most acclaimed role of her career.

What is Shabi ke Mah Kamel Shod about?

In a Tehran bazaar, a young woman named Faezeh meets Abdolhamid, a charming suitor from Sistan-Baluchestan in Iran's far southeast. Their courtship is quick and tender, and against her family's hesitation she marries him and moves to his home region near the border. There, the life she imagined slowly gives way to a very different reality: her husband's family is bound up with an armed militant network operating along the frontier, led by his brother. Isolated far from home, with a child in the picture and the border only a short drive away, Faezeh must navigate loyalty, fear, and shrinking room for choice as the world around her hardens.

About the cast

Elnaz Shakerdoost, previously known largely for lighter commercial fare, transforms herself as Faezeh — a performance that won her the Crystal Simorgh for best actress. Hootan Shakiba earned the supporting-actor prize for his unsettling turn as Abdolhamid, and veteran character actress Fereshteh Sadre Orafaiy plays the family's formidable mother. The three performances anchor a large ensemble directed by Narges Abyar.

Context & significance

Director Narges Abyar, one of the most prominent women filmmaking in Iran, built the screenplay with co-writer Morteza Esfahani from documented real events of the late 2000s in the Sistan-Baluchestan border region, researching the case for years before shooting. The film runs a substantial 131 minutes and moves between bustling Tehran and stark desert borderlands, a contrast Abyar uses to chart how far Faezeh drifts from everything familiar. At the 37th Fajr Film Festival the film collected the festival's most important awards, including best film and best director, and it went on to become one of the most-watched Iranian dramas of its year.
