Superb
This is a superb film. Almost plotless, but far from pointless, this film really made us think about what democracy means in a society where the democratic political institutions are so slight.The young female voting agent is excellent, transforming, as her day on Kish proceeds, from fresh faced idealist to drawn pragmatist. Her soldier guard, by way of contrast, is barely touched by what he sees, he’s kind of seen it all before.
The traffic light in the middle of nowhere is surely symbolic of the futility of such democracy, as well as surrealistically very funny.
Avoid this film like the plague of you need action, glamour or twist in your movies, but if you want to be thinking about a film for days after seeing it, Secret Ballot is a great one to see.
Not really a comedy, but really worth seeing!

Date: 12 May 2003 Summary: Not really a comedy–democracy starts here.
Secret Ballot [Raye makhfi (2001)]is another Iranian film about a strong, determined young woman. As written and directed by Babak Payami, the film is far more than a comedy. This movie takes us through a day on an almost- deserted island, where two bored soldiers are stationed on the beach to watch for smugglers.
Suddenly a large box is dropped by parachute. Inside are a ballot box and orders directing the soldiers to accompany and assist an election agent. The soldier–played well by Cyrus Abidi–is astonished when he learns the agent is a woman.
Nassim Abdi, who plays the agent, has a difficult part, made more difficult by the fact that she must communicate her emotions to the viewer while swathed in the forbidding garments required for women–even election agents– in this Muslim land.
The plot of the film involves the interaction between the agent and the potential voters she meets on the island, as well as her interaction with the young soldier.
The Secret Ballot is an intensely moving, sometimes humorous, sometimes sad movie. Secret Ballot is not your lightweight Hollywood road movie. It is a glimpse into another culture, and into the hearts and minds of two people who are doing their best to lead moral and productive lives in a situation where this goal is not easy to accomplish.
