    First-time writer-director Serry shows a remarkable gift for storytelling with this moving, effective little film.

    Serry perfectly captures the peculiar climate, creating uncanny echoes with today's situation. Persian stars Shaun Toub and Shohreh Aghdashloo are extremely convincing as Maryam's parents.
