Somewhere on the outskirts of modern Iran, at a traditional old house with a fragrant tree-shaded internal yard, a whole family is ceaselessly making nuptial preparations. Being the youngest in the family, the bright-eyed bride-to-be, Pasandideh, can't wait for the arrival of her older sisters; after all, her wedding with the grandson of a friendly family is a marvellous opportunity for a great reunion. Eventually, amid careful bridal arrangements, an unplanned but exciting treasure hunt, and thrilling ghost stories, everything will be soon ready for the joyous event; however, is a single cube of sugar enough to bring sweetness and happiness?
… this film gives us a view of everyday life in modern Iran that is vastly different to that conjured up by television news reports. In A CUBE OF SUGAR you get to see a more humane and rounded view of this society. It provides a vivid and moving portrait of family life – the humour and infectious laughter, the troubled relationships, the moments of tenderness and contemplation, sadness and loss. Like all good cinema, it is both universal and particular – a delightful, engaging, and insightful film.
