The
setting is Iran, a couple have obtained a visa which expires in 40 days to
leave the country with their daughter.
The husband doesn’t want to leave his elderly father who has
Alzheimer’s. They both do not want
to be away from their daughter, she is in the sixth grade. They go before a judge but he
determines they must settle this between themselves. The wife moves in with her parents, the husband hires a woman
to take care of his father and then the problems start.
This
is a tough movie with a lot of dialogue and subtitles. There is so much arguing throughout the
film, you want to just give up, stop watching and reading. The arguing is constant, it just takes too much effort!! Will there be any payoff to finish the
film? There is some resolution of
the major problems. 3* (This movie
is OK)
