Summaries

An Iranian high school student falls for an illegal foreign worker and follows him to Tehran.

The story of a 17 year old rural girl by the name of Mahi, who comes from a war-stricken family in the southern Iran. Mahi falls in love with an Afghan student named Heiran, who has come to their village to work. But Mahi's family being strictly against her marriage to an Afghan, forces Mahi to choose one between her family and an Afghan lad.—Anonymous

Seventeen-year old Mahi doesn't expect to fall in love, but that's exactly what happens in this romantic drama. When Mahi meets Heiran, a young Afghan worker who has come to Iran for sanctuary, the pair form an instant connection. However, the couple must hide their relationship from Mahi's parents, who are dead set against the relationship. Her oppressive father is particularly against the match, and the couple debate whether they should run away to Tehran to start a life together. This intensely moving drama examines the limitations of prejudice, and how it can stand in the way of happiness.—IMVBox.com
