[Part 2] Chris heads down to his storage unit whenever he’s going through a rough patch, spending time with his prize possession; Derek the dalek who always lifts his spirits. 35-year-old Maria readily admits that her storage unit is her life. Everything she owns is locked away in a three-metre by three metre box. Maria moved into storage as a short term measure, but three years on, she’s still homeless and there’s little chance of her moving into a place of her own. Then there’s Roddolf, an unashamed storage junkie. He dreams of become an installation artist and he’s convinced that the stuff he stores, including 20-year-old boxes and piles of dust, will provide the inspiration and the raw materials for his masterpieces. As this special discovers, there is everything from dead bodies to people living in self-storage, making police raids more common and there has been no end of strange stuff found inside.

[Part 1] Prostitution Behind the Veil explores a side of Iran rarely seen or talked about. For over a year, director Nahid Persson filmed the everyday lives of two young female prostitutes in Iran as they eked out a living in a country where the profession is banned. The filmmaker often took great risks to follow Minna and Fariba as they sought out customers-men who would often marry them briefly, so as not to violate the laws of Islam by having extramarital sex. The two women are good friends and neighbor, who have experienced the widespread mistreatment of women and the double standards that permeate Iranian society today.
