Two parallel love stories in which couples are frustrated by hidden and unavoidable obstacles, the force of superstition and the mechanics of power. The mere existence of this film is almost a miracle. Filmed in secret by Jafar Panahi, shortly before being arrested and sentenced to 6 years in jail (which he has for a few months been serving at home), No Bears is a major work in the filmography of the Iranian master. A monument to the artist's commitment to his art, to society and freedom of expression.
