The first thing we said when the movie was over: I want to watch this again, right now. This film and the acting is one of the best that i have seen in many years. Hamed Behdad is carrying the scenes in a realistic way thats it's hard to think about anything else during the movie. The shocking truth comes in casual conversations and it nails you in the seat. the young actor and actress are so real, i forgot that this is not a real scenario. I will never forget this film. Congrats to all whom participated for making this movie.

Persian-language (primarily Iranian) cinema is acclaimed for poetic allegory, moral depth, and inventive ways of navigating censorship. It often uses non-professional actors, minimalism and symbolism to explore moral dilemmas, social issues, and the human condition under political constraints.
