Synopsis
An ex-prostitute begins a new life by marrying her loved one but leaving the shadow of her dark past is not as easy as it seemed. Now she is the prisoner of her loved one and to earn her freedom she must battle a masculine, theocratic society. “In Iran today making a film about prostitutes is a real challenge because the society and government deny their very existence. And it’s especially difficult that the heroine is an ex-prostitute. I tried to show a woman behind bars and fences all over today's Tehran, trying to overcome all the intolerance and religious dogmatism in her society.” -- Abbas Rafei
