The Ambassador's Wife (2009)
In 1946, the young bride Nazgol relocates with her husband to South America where he has just been appointed the Iranian Ambassador. Plucked from her homeland and disconnected from even the smallest semblance of familiarity, Nazgol discovers that she is able to do things that would once have been forbidden in her homeland. However her newfound liberation may come at a price.
