    its a great film if you understand it.
    this film is indicating a semi modern Iranian couple ,who are trying to fight with old believes &old generation.in this battle they fail cause the man is not strong enough.if you really want to understand this film you must know a lot about Iranian nowadays culture. Leila is the symbol of a young Iranian woman who marry with love but others interferer her life with the name of family traditions and customs.specially her husbands family .at the end of film it shows that every one is damaged by this interference Leila,her husband,mother in law&... the subject is some how strange for westerners,but many of your subjects are strange for easterners too!
