Synopsis
Set in Tehran the young girl goes through a journey of discovery for her self. She wants to capture the world around her with her camera.
An innocent teenager thinks it might be fun to spy on her neighbour with her new camera but observes more than she should. When the neighbour realises he is being filmed, the teenager is forced to confront her actions. Hiding in the Open shifts the themes and ideas of Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) to Tehran, creating a suspenseful insight into growing up in contemporary Iran
