After the sanctions imposed by the US and Europe against Iran, Iranian families face numerous economic problems. MAAT is a doc-fiction about families from different towns decided to immigrate to the capital to solve their financial problems. They spend all their saving on buying a house in that utopia. After entering the house, they found out the flat has been sold to a few buyers. They are finding a way out for their problem when they find a large sum of money (US dollars, Credit cards  and …) in the flat. Now they face the ethical dilemma of taking the money or telling the truth to the police or solving the problem between themselves somehow.

Director’s Motivation:
After plenty of experiences on short films,i was always willing to refer to social issues in my feature film to show human challenges in difficult circumstances,hoping to be of success in.

Director’s Statement :
Current film is completely experiential ,and absolutely independent  ,which was fulfilled by companionship of a unique cast in spite of a very limited location we owned to  work in which, attempted to virtualise reality by means of camera movements and compound mise en scene  to avoid being monotonic.
actually we work with DSLR camera, which gives cut in every 18 minutes,we tried to give miss en scene before the deadline.
