a film by :Massoud Bakhshi
In Iran today: Maryam (22) accidentally kills her husband Nasser (65) and is sentenced to death. The only person who can save her is Mona (37), Nasser's daughter. All Mona has to do is appear on a popular live TV show and forgive Maryam. This TV show does exist in Iran, it has inspired this fiction.
Iran, de nos jours. Maryam, 22 ans, tue accidentellement son mari Nasser, 65 ans. Elle est condamnée à mort. La seule personne qui puisse la sauver est Mona, la fille de Nasser. Il suffirait que Mona accepte de pardonner Maryam en direct devant des millions de spectateurs, lors d’une émission de téléréalité. En Iran cette émission existe, elle a inspiré cette fiction.
