"Bride Price VS Democracy"
A Film by Reza Rahimi
When 25-year-old Omid returned to Iran for the first time after 15 years to ask for Vida’s hand in marriage, he was unaware of what he really was getting himself in to. Back home in Sweden, after a few years of marriage, Vida decides to separate from the relationship and the couple followed different paths. The cause of their conflict could be summed of as follows, culture clash and pre-30 crisis.
The divorce proceedings was difficult and it involved not only the division of their property but also the issue of the agreed “bride price” which Omid opposed. The Swedish court ruled in favor of Vida and Omid was liable to pay 4.5 million SEK as the result. (Based on a true story).

It's an independent movie in collaboration with professional filmmakers and actors and the uniqueness of this project is that the movie was recorded only on 12 recording days!
The plot of the movie "Bride Price and democracy" is based on a true story and inspired by real disputes from the Swedish court.
The film highlights issues and problems concerning the concepts of democracy and equality, providing knowledge of another culture and shows the remaining problems of the so-called second generation. The film also points out the misinterpretations and problems that can arise when individuals encounter other cultures with insufficient experience and knowledge which can have unexpectable outcomes.
