Yet another classic Persian movie with intense drama and each story depicted in the movie is intense and holds the audience's attention. It is a movie with multiple stories unfolding one after the other.
The movie starts and ends in a jail in Iran. And, the lives of all the Iranian women in the movie is circumscribed with over-hauling shadows of the men either a father, brother or husband in their life. It was very hard to believe about the plight of the women in the movie and can't help but empathize with them. Sometimes you would feel like stepping in the scene and help the struggling women.
The film seems to have captured the lives of each and every woman in the society in one way or the other. It wonderfully intertwines each story with another and finally ends where it all began. It reminds of the phrase "Life has come a full circle". And, the same happens to each character in the movie.
It is a must watch and if you happen to like the movie, which you would be, then don't miss to watch Jafar Panahi's another classic "The Mirror" as well.
