Award winner at five international film festivals, writer/director Babak Payami's Secret Ballot is a satirical comedy that humorously sheds light on the universal discrepancies of the voting process and gender differences.
It's Election day on a remote island off the coast of Iran and a ballot box is parachuted to shore. An unnamed soldier is assigned to escort a female bureaucrat to gather votes. Together, they embark on a chaotic journey, turning the island upside down desperately seeking anyone's vote. There is more to the Secret Ballot than the two could ever imagine!
