Forgiveness or revenge? Sympathy or blame? The movie will direct the camera to the victim. When the person who hurt you is not intentional, and is already old and infirm, should you choose to forgive, or expose his true colors in front of everyone, and let him be responsible for the damage caused, and the burden may be beyond what he can bear moral questioning?

This Iranian film is full of concern for human nature, and it is a heavy moral decision, but no matter which choice you choose, it should be understood. Perhaps no one is better than anyone in this matter...

    The contradiction is set too hard and the foreshadowing is too deliberate, and every seemingly irrelevant detail must be used later. A parting is like inadvertently bringing the audience into a moral dilemma, and this film deliberately creates such a situation.

    In a country soaked in a "culture of shame", two families were forced into a blind spot due to an accidental indecent assault case. The wife was hurt physically and mentally, but she blamed herself naturally, and the husband lost his balance due to neighbors’ comments. The final revenge is to humiliate the other party. "How do people become beasts?" "Gradually" Fahati's iconic life language and details. But the tricks of "Death of a Salesman" are not used well, and the image of the perpetrator is too thin

  • Rana Etesami: If I had used that damn intercom, If I'd asked who it was... none of this would've happened.
