This is a very simple and complex story, a very simple but not simple event, and it happened like this, and it happened quietly and naturally.

In this film we can peek into three main fundamental contradictions: the disagreement between the wife and the husband over child-rearing and caring for the father, the paradox between the work of the carer and his husband and beliefs, the daughter's follow-through after choosing her parents for divorce Which side decides where the family goes. These contradictions may not seem too conspicuous around us, but the screenwriter skillfully shows the common contradictions in Iranian society when choosing the direction of the plot. Combined with the superb acting skills of the actors, the emotions are real and empathetic The performance allows the audience to have a deep and direct feeling for the story.

Faith refutes lies, and contradictions take precedence over kinship. For us, how are we going to deal with it? Maybe the director gave us an open-ended ending, allowing the audience to enter the plot themselves and take their place in the plot.
