Sample Text
When Hussein was seven, he contracted hemophilia, hepatitis and AIDS due to a government-approved blood transfusion. Despite its obvious guilt, the fledgling Iranian government abandoned him to deal with his condition alone. Director Hasan Rastagar blurs the foundations of reality by intertwining raw documentary footage of Hussein's own heart-wrenching struggles with the story of a fictional diseased man, acted by Hussein himself. As his health deteriorates, the fiction is eclipsed by Hussein's heavy reality. In failing health, he wavers between black hopelessness and vindictive resolution, ardently searching for a lifelong companion and boldly placing his trust in God. A quietly devastating critique of the Iranian government, Time Bomb affords viewers a harrowing glimpse into a personal fight for life and love.
