cloud of the past

The first thing I felt after watching it was depression.

The quarrel that runs through often ends with repeated injuries. The people in this fragmented family are either too intense or ambiguous. It seems that starting from the embarrassing pick-up of the wife at the beginning, it heralds the stage of a whole big tragedy. .
There is revenge and hatred, and there is nameless sadness, there is quarrel and there is catharsis, and it seems to be connected and constantly involved.

Seeing the clasped hands at the end and the tears left by Samir's vegetative wife, I don't know if I want to see the two families come together or let everything in the past vanish.
In fact, neither of these can happen.

  • Shahryar: There is still one little similar thing between me and my wife to not get divorce. The color of our countries flags!

    [Shahryar is Iranian and his wife is Italian. The color of Iran and Italy flags is similar together]
