A 16-year-old Iranian girl has been notified by the local morgue to identify her mother’s body. Over the course of the next 15 minutes, this painful task proves to be more difficult than we could have ever imagined in Alireza Ghasemi’s engrossing and humanist portrait “Lunch Time.”

    What a heartless, ineffective way to treat a beautiful, sweet teenage girl who had just lost her mother. My wife had this happen just a few days ago on March 28th. No wonder that their culture as been in the toilet for the last several centuries.–Tom Reilly

      Thanks, Tom. I think that this kind of experience happens in many countries, including the US.
