About Elly

DramaMystery119 min

A weekend by the Caspian Sea unravels when Elly, a kindergarten teacher invited along to meet a recently divorced family friend, vanishes during a picnic. What begins as a casual matchmaking plan among former college friends in northern Iran turns into a scramble for answers, as small lies about the trip start colliding with questions of duty, reputation, and blame. Taraneh Alidoosti and Golshifteh Farahani are part of the ensemble at the center of the crisis, alongside Shahab Hosseini, as the group’s search along the shoreline forces buried tensions into the open.
