This movie was an extremely dark and unrealistic take of life in Iran. Almost every plot detail was malicious and defamatory. I strongly advise against watching this if you have not visited Iran and have not seen the wonderful people and the culture up close yourself. It will leave you with a very bitter (and completely false) impression. You would be wiser to watch some more factual movies about Iran, particularly some documentaries regarding the history, culture, poetry, cuisine, scientific breakthroughs, hospitable people, and wonderful traditions.
