Circumstance

A tale of love and family turned upside down by obsession and suspicion, Circumstance is also a provocative coming-of-age story that cracks open the hidden world of Iranian youth culture. Alive with playfulness, two vivacious teenage girls, wealthy Atafeh (Nikohl Boosheri) and orphaned Shireen (Sarah Kazemy), are discovering their burgeoning sexuality full of wild yearnings and imaginative fantasies. And while the simplest things are often disallowed them, they take risks every day to lead their own lives. (official distributor synopsis)
