The Request

Directed by Abdul Khaliq Alil

A 45 minute black and white film originally produced as part of a three-part anthology film called Rozgaran (each part with a different director). 'Talabgar' (directed by Khaliq Alil) translates loosely as 'the one who asks' and in the case of this 40-minute film the one who asks is specifically the man who asks a girl's parents for their permission to court their daughter.
