With My Father's Permission is a compelling short that explores the aftermath of the long Iran-Iraq war. It centers on a girl navigating the poignant emotions tied to her father's absence for three decades. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and unresolved grief, especially heightened on her wedding night when her father's body finally returns. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the emotional weight to resonate, while the performances are raw and authentic, capturing a deep sense of loss and hope. The practical effects, especially in how they present the father's body, add a stark realism that enhances the film's impact. It's a distinct piece that really underscores how war shapes personal lives and memories.
