In Woman's Quarter, Kamran Shirdel takes the spectator to Shahr-e No, Tehran's notorious district for prostitution in the 1960s and 1970s. The film centres on several women who live in the district, informing us about their day-to-day existence and what took
... them into prostitution. The film draws on Kaveh Golestan's photos of the women in the district and thus somewhat respects the women's privacy. The film is by no means all gloomy since Shirdel considers the opportunities presented by education.
