Description:
Susan Taslimi stars as a poor single mother who agrees to marry her 13-year-old daughter to a middle-aged man. The exchange is for a mare, intended to provide income and support for her younger children. Director Ali Zhekan depicts the harsh realities of poverty and patriarchal traditions in rural Iran. The film shows the mother's desperate measures (like hiding rice in a tree) and the brutality of those who profit from the marriage. However, the 1986 film is primarily notable for Taslimi's powerful portrayal of the mother as she fights to protect her daughter’s freedom.
