Drama

Rouhi, a young bride-to-be, is hired as a maid for an affluent family in Tehran. Upon arriving, she is suddenly thrust into an explosive domestic conflict. The wife is convinced her husband is having an affair and enlists Rouhi as a spy, to follow her husband, and confirm her suspicions. What Rouhi discovers, however, threatens not only their marriage but her own future.

VIBE

A suffocating atmosphere of suspicion and quiet desperation permeates this intimate drama. The film masterfully builds tension, drawing you into a world of unspoken truths and the devastating consequences of doubt. It's a slow, deliberate unraveling of domestic unease.
