Iran - Film: Four Wives - One Man:

Synopsis

Under certain interpretations of the Koran, Muslim men are allowed to have more than one wife, and filmmaker Nahid Persson profiles an Iranian husband who already has four brides and is looking for more in this documentary. Heda is a farmer who is married to Farang, Goli, Shahpar and Ziba; between his four spouses, Heda is already father to twenty children, but he feels his current wives are not always as obedient as he'd like, and he's interested in finding a younger and more subservient partner to give him more offspring. As Heda talks about the advantages and shortcomings of polygamy, his wives share their feelings about the difficult and subservient existence they have chosen; Heda's mother also speaks frankly about her son's harem and their successes and failures in making him happy. Fyra Fruar Och En Man (aka Four Wives -- One Man) was partially shot under the supervision of Nahid Persson's daughter Setareh Persson (who also served as producer) after Nahid was denied permission to return to Iran. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
