While "Baran" is essentially a boy-meets-girl flick, the situation of Afghani refugees in Iran is no less central.
After he relocates Baran hauling heavy stones from spring-swollen streams and then her family in an Afghani enclave, he first presses for his back wages that foreman Memar has paternalistically kept back, ostensibly for Latif's own good.
Then, in one of the most devastating scenes in new Iranian cinema to date, Baran flips her mantle over her head so it becomes an Afghani burqa, the head-to-toe covering for women with mesh portal at face-level.
