Halaal Mamnooe : "حلال ممنوعه" (Halal Forbidden) narrates the contrasting journeys of two women, Fatemeh and Aidaz, set against the backdrop of religious, cultural, and social norms in Iran. Fatemeh, a religious girl, has harbored the secret dream of singing since childhood, a passion she has kept hidden due to societal and cultural constraints. On the other hand, Aidaz represents the bold choice of leaving one's homeland for the freedom to express oneself artistically, in this case through singing.
The story of "Fatemeh and Aidaz" delves into the ups and downs faced by women in a society where certain aspirations, like singing for women, can be seen as forbidden (haram) despite being inherently harmless (halal). It's a narrative about suppressed emotions and the innate talent of the daughters of Iran, struggling to find a voice in a society that imposes strict limitations on their expression and dreams.
Through their stories, "حلال ممنوعه" offers a poignant commentary on the challenges and dilemmas faced by women in pursuing their passions within the confines of cultural and societal expectations. The film underscores the universal desire for artistic expression and the personal sacrifices that often accompany the pursuit of one's dreams in restrictive environments.
