Somaieh, the youngest daughter of an indigent family, is getting married and fear is overwhelming each and every member of the family regarding how to overcome their difficulties after she's gone.

The graphic account of a poverty-stricken family living in Tehran through the days before the youngest daughter of the family, Somaieh, is departing to start her marriage to a supposedly rich Afghan. While all members of the family have their worries about the wholeness of the marriage, she is struggling with her madly debilitating troubles including a silly mother who is gravely ill, a drug abusing brother, an obsessively compulsive sister, a considerably smart teenage brother who is being ruined in the environment, and a cunning oldest brother in need of money.—Hossein sr

Somayeh is at a loss. Her only desire is to leave her family and take her destiny in hand, yet the love of her sick mother and exceptionally bright brother holds her back. One day her elder brother, Morteza, introduces her to an Afghan who wants to marry her and take her to Afghanistan. Despite herself, but moved by her brother's concern, she accepts the offer, seeing it as primarily a means of escaping her family. And then, at the very last minute, she discovers the hidden face of the marriage proposal.—Anonymous
