Aroview: This earlier feature from the director of A SEPARATION similarly explores the mores of the urban middle and lower classes with depth and complexity. Set on the eve of Persian New Year, it tells the story of a naive young house-cleaner who becomes embroiled in her employers' domestic dispute over accusations of infidelity.

4 stars (Very Good) A stressful portrait of family life in a cramped Teheran apt. Very full-on. Intense people who say much with their eyes. Great acting. The constant crash of fireworks is an added stress. Not nearly as good as A SEPARATION, but worthwhile. ~Sandy
