This Iranian film from director Ebrahim Hatamikia is a dark look at the actions of a desperate man. Trying to escape from his native Iran, Ghassem (Hamid Farrokhnezhad) concocts a hairbrained scheme to get him and his family out of the country. Hijacking a plane with his pregnant wife, Ghassem runs into trouble with the undercover officers who populate the aircraft. An unusual movie that emerged in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, LOW HEIGHTS shows just how far people will go in an attempt to live a better life.
