    • Synopsis
    • Gradually is a poignant tale about Mahmoud, a railway welder working outside Tehran, who returns home to find that his wife, Pari—who struggles with mental illness—has disappeared with their daughter and taken their savings. As he searches for her, he faces relentless gossip and social pressure from the neighborhood, forcing him into an agonizing dilemma.

      A confused tale of a man pressured by society to ostracize his mentally ill wife when she goes roaming without his permission, Gradually echoes themes from director Maziar Miri’s first feature, Unfinished Song, which challenged the ban on women singers in Iran. Though the film tackles a compelling subject, its execution falls short of its full potential.
