Summaries

A lady saw a stranger who looked like her father at her father's funeral. When she started to look deeper, a family secret revealed.

The depressed Shirin wanders around at her father's funeral. Unexpectedly, she sees a man very much like her father. Regardless of her uncle's objection, Shirin is enchanted by the idea of finding out that man. Reluctantly, her uncle acknowledges that the man is her father's illegitimate child. Looking at gloomy daughter, Shirin's mother tells her about some past events, especially about an unexpected truth that Shirin is her father's adopted daughter. It seems to be clear that Shirin and that man have no blood bond. But her father's mistress tells a different story.

Whilst at her father's funeral, Shirin notices a man that looks eerily like her late father. Naturally this raises questions. Shirin's uncle is initially hesitant to divulge information about the man, but eventually admits he is her illegitimate brother. Shirin's mother, seeing the effect of this news, decides to unveil the family's well-hidden secret surrounding the brother and Shirin's own origins. As director Hamidreza Ghotbi's debut feature film received three nominations from the Fajr Film Festival, it is hailed as a one of the seminal screenplay adaptations in the Iranian film industry to date.—IMVBox.com
