      lingering

      Farhadi's works in 2006, and later on about Yili, a parting in the same line,
      or a stranger breaking into a complicated "circle", the rippling
      judgment of Farhadi is always lingering. The

      weak

      In the early works of Iranian director Farhadi, it can be seen that he is good at rumors, suspense, women's status and other elements from the beginning. The story tells the story of a girl who is about to get married and works part-time in a family, witnesses the farce of marriage derailment, and has a new understanding of marriage.

      At first, I thought that my wife's problem was bigger and suspicious. The divorced woman is also very pitiful. Although she stayed well and was misunderstood by the neighbors, the extramarital affairs still existed, and the husband was not so innocent. Only unmarried women are foolishly happy for marriage and children. But the root cause is that women stay at home all day doing nothing, and the source of income comes from their husbands, and they only focus on their husbands and children, which...
