A riveting domestic drama and psychological thriller about a contemporary Iranian family. It depicts an extensive metaphor of the enduring struggles against patriarchy, obsession, and submission. The boldness of Iranian girls and women are its inspiration and essence.

The wife, Najmeh, and daughters, Rezvan and Sana, bravely fought back in retaliation of their father, Iman's actions. The courage it took for this movie to be done in total secrecy by film maker, Muhammad Rasoulaf in the wake of massive protests was in itself astonishing.🙏🏾♥️
