synopsis

A single mother lives with her five-year-old, mute son in a high-rise area in the middle of the metropolis. In order to pay her rent and for the divorce from her jailed husband, she works as a prostitute but pretends to be a nurse on a night shift. She shares her secret with her pregnant neighbour, a bored housewife, who takes care of her son but also hopes to find a way out of her everyday life. A young music student also lives in the same neighborhood but gets into trouble after a one-night stand with an 18-year-old virgin.

Tehran Taboo

is a completely shot in the green screen film, which is edited in the post-production to a comic-like style of film.
As part of the rotoscope and postproduction team of Little Dream Entertainment GmbH, I had the task to create with the team the special look of the film and the different scenes to work the appropriate design, and finally the complete rendering process.
