Full Plot Details

A soldier stationed on a deserted beach wakes up and discovers that it's not going to be an ordinary day: there are the elections, but nobody seems to know anything about them. Just as an electoral urn is being parachuted from the sky, a young woman disembarks on the beach. To the soldier's bafflement, it turns out that she is in charge of the mobile electoral seat and voting on the islands; therefore the soldier is obliged to obey her orders and escort her with his rifle and army jeep across the desert, where the woman obstinately intends to collect the votes. During the day, stressed by a series of absurd events, the two learn to get to know each other. At sunset, when the young woman leaves, the man realizes that the secret vote contained much more than he had ever imagined.

Movie Reviews

Cinema em Cena - 9/10 by Pablo VillaçaInteressante filme que mostra a realidade política e social no Irã, o autoritarismo com relação às mulheres e as contradições de um país governado pela religiosidade.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) - 9/10 by Brian GibsonLong, still vistas . . . nicely surreal . . . some hard questions about faith and democracy, law and lawlessness, acting for the common good.
Newsday - 9/10 by Jan StuartBabak Payami's surreal, episodic road comedy holds our attention to alternating degrees, hamstrung by the flat-footedness of his two leads.
TV Guide - 8/10 by Ken FoxIt's a strong testament to the power of the individual to make a difference, not necessarily through the popular vote, but through the simple act of communication.
Movie Eye - 8/10 by Frank OchiengThere is something that is so meditative and lyrical about Babak Payami's boldly quirky Iranian drama Secret Ballot...a charming and evoking little ditty that manages to show the gentle and humane side of Middle Eastern world politics
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Liz BraunThe pace of the film is very slow (for obvious reasons) and that too becomes off-putting.
UK Critic - 7/10 by Ian Waldron-MantganiSlow, simple, quiet and intriguing. Payami investigates possibilities, and his curiosity carries us along.
Seattle Times - 7/10 by Moira MacDonaldIn a movie full of surprises, the biggest is that Secret Ballot is a comedy, both gentle and biting.
One Guy's Opinion - 7/10 by Frank SwietekIf you're willing to surrender to its languid, indirect style and its offbeat comic sense, you may find it a rich and rewarding little film.
eye WEEKLY - 6/10 by Adam NaymanPayami is to be applauded for taking biting potshots at such volatile issues as Iran's outmoded electoral process and women's status as second-class citizens.
