About Good to Be Back
Dentist Farzad has returned to Iran after many years abroad to escape his anxieties and daily stresses. Farzad is delighted to be reunited with his old friend, Kambiz, who has been his seaside neighbor for years. However, the appearance of a mysterious object scuppers any hopes of a straightforward homecoming. When a doctor, Yasamin, gets dragged into the story, Farzad and Kambiz find their friendship threatened. A tale of chaos and the nostalgia of home, this comedy offers superb performances from its leads.
Directed by Dariush Mehrjui, Good to Be Back leans on a strong ensemble — Hamed Behdad, Mahnaz Afshar, Reza Attaran — 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 comedy titles of 2013.
