No Men Allowed is about that In order to prepare her best and brightest for the upcoming chemistry Olympiad, strict, conservative headmistress Ms. Darabi is forced to break her lifelong rule of not allowing male teachers in the school and reluctantly hires the bumbling Mr. Jebeli. Little does she know though that several of her students, led by the self-assured Paria, have a plan to get her to fall in love with him. 'No Men Allowed' is a hilarious, rollicking romcom, chock-full of witty dialogue and zany antics that will have you coming back time and time again!

Mani Haghighi (مانی حقیقی) has been a Director in some movies:
Modest Reception is about that It is clear from this film's explosive opening sequence that there is more to Leila and Kaveh than meets the eye. Armed with sacks of banknotes, the pair are on a mission to donate millions to the needy of rural Iran - whether the targets of their philanthropy want the money or not. The couple's ambiguous relationship shrouds them in mystery, and as we follow them on their quest, it becomes clear that Kaveh's increasingly sadistic nature threatens to overwhelm their good deeds. There are subtle nods to Tarantino’s dark humor in this gripping drama, which questions the very nature of charity itself.

Melbourne is about that Hours before leaving Tehran for a three-year stay in Melbourne, young couple Amir (Peyman Moaadi) and Sara (Negar Javaherian) find themselves looking after a neighbour's newborn, left to them by the nanny. However, this well-meaning favour soon turns tragic and threatens to derail more than just their plans to move abroad.
