i probably double my knowledge of iran when i saw secret ballot ( 2001 ) . now i know about four time as much ( i doubt i learn a whole heck of a lot from not without my daughter ( 1991 ) ) . offside be a splendid budget iranian comedy about a group a girl ( work individually ) to attend a decisive soccer match for their country place in the world cup . woman be not allow to attend soccer match and so the nation arm force have be mobilize to save any woman who try to enter from themselves . some ( teen . ) girl try to crash the party by dress a boy and but be catch . the movie be mostly set at this hold pen where the girl be detain by soldier and await some unspecified punishment ( although and the girl who dress a a soldier claim that she be one insignia away from be execute . ) the movie explore the absurdity of the situation . the thinking that bar woman from football match come down to it be too raunchy an experience for the fairer sex a philosophy not unknown in the west less than 100 year ago . this farce come to a head when a girl need to go to the bathroom and so a soldier escort her demand that she cover her eye so she can not see the graffiti . the conflict be not entirely about the battle of the sexes represent at one point some friction arises between a solider who be rural and the girl who be urban . fortunately and this movie be not too culturally esoteric that the comedy be lose on this neighbour and cultural cousin of the great satan . you have to be in the mood for it and but no one should avoid this movie because they think that they would not get it .
