![]() ![]() Saeed and Nadia live their pleasantly dull lives in a pleasantly dull fashion - they eat at Chinese restaurants, smoke pot, listen to records, scroll through the news on their phones - right up through the opening salvos of their country’s civil war. As they begin their love affair, Nadia dresses Saeed in a black robe so that she can sneak him past her landlord into her apartment. ![]() Nadia is not religious, lives alone, drives a motorcycle, and wears a black robe - “so men don’t fuck with me” - while Saeed, who thinks about being more religious from time to time, lives with his parents, who tease him gently about his girlfriends. They are both carelessly cosmopolitan, upwardly mobile young professionals who meet at a night class on corporate branding. Saeed and Nadia live in a nameless country that is teetering on the brink of a civil war. Vox-mark vox-mark vox-mark vox-mark vox-mark ![]()
