Still from Yalda, A Night For Forgiveness. Facebook
The International Film Festival of India went virtual this year. One of the films I watched is Massoud Bakhshi’s 
Yalda, a Night for Forgiveness (2019). It’s a tale of conflict, and the conflict arises from the very title.
The first word refers to the winter solstice festival in Iran. It is a celebration, a day of joy. The last word of the title, however, refers to the fate of Maryam (Sadaf Asgari), a young woman who killed her much-older husband. She says it was an accident. But she fled the scene, so the evidence stacked up heavily against her. She has spent months in prison.
