Misunderstanding (Persian: سوءتفاهم) is a Persian-language Iranian film directed and written by Ahmadreza Motamedi and produced by Jalil Shabani,[3][4] produced in 2017 by Owj Arts and Media Organization.[5] The film was released in Iranian cinemas on February 13, 2019.[6]
The film portrays a hostage-taking in which everything unfolds in the context of reality, but as time passes, suspicions arise that the incident is more like a "misunderstanding" or an illusion; but in the context of the illusion, elements of reality are still visible. As this ambiguity develops, the hostage-taking story also progresses.[7][8]
