SYNOPSIS
Country
girl Fereshteh and city girl Roya, schoolmates at Tehran University in the
early '80s, become friends. Their friendship and their innocent fun are
clouded only by the presence of a young man who stalks the pretty Fereshteh
demanding that she marry him. Family pressure once again decides Fereshteh's
destiny, forcing her into a marriage with a man she doesn't love. Her friend
Roya, meanwhile, is living precisely the sort of life that Fereshteh aspires
to....

modern Iranian life."
