Leila is a widow who works tirelessly at a failing factory, trying to provide for her infant and her 12-year-old son, Amir. A solution to her financial hardships comes in the form of a marriage proposal from the factory bus driver, Kazem. Weighing heavily on Leila's conscience is one unwavering requirement: as Kazem has a young daughter of Amir's age, tradition and propriety dictate that Amir cannot share the family home.
In her fiction-feature debut, Mahnaz Mohammadi draws on the compassion and patience she honed as a documentarian to craft an authentic story of a relationship between a mother and a son, threatened by their culture, in all its tense complexity.
