Synopsis of Film: A young woman, Fereshteh who teaches at a Tehran
high school has lost her husband recently. According to the law and
tradition, she has to leave the fate of her two sons (9 and 7 years
old) and the wealth of her husband to her father in law who is a
traditional minded man, while she has to return to her father's house.
With the help of her four colleagues (each having an unresolved
problem in their life), Fereshteh manages to show a reaction to her
condition... the concept of the film is confrontation of tradition
and modernism.
