The DVD of the film is available in our Bookshop. (List of available DVDs in Slovene only)

Farzaneh is a pregnant young driving instructor who lives with her husband Jalal. Their marriage is far from ideal, especially because Farzaneh is suffering from chronic depression. One day she spots her husband walking into an unknown woman’s house. When she confronts Jalal, he claims he wasn't in town at that time. With the help of her brother-in-law, Farzaneh decides to look into the matter herself.

“Primarily it’s about issues of identity and marriage. It’s a film about a person who remembers how their partner used to be when they first met. There is a distinction between who the partner is now, after a long relationship, after ten years, and when they first met. It is as if you are meeting the person you met ten years ago again, for the first time. And you must choose between the two versions of them. It is challenging and it is your choice to see what you want to see in the other." (Mani Haghighi)
