About Excused Absence
The story is about a woman who, upon entering an all-boys school to find her son, encounters the strange and humorous behavior of the principal, the administrator, and the teachers, as if each of them has a hidden secret and is trying to mislead her with laughter and jokes.
Directed by Abbas Rafei, Excused Absence leans on a strong ensemble — Abolfazl Pourarab, Mitra Hajjar, Ali Oji — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
