Challenges in Understanding Historical Context

The film's subject could be good, but the story doesn't start properly.

I myself didn't know until the middle of the film who the children and mothers shown at the beginning were and which characters they were in the film.

Additionally, no one in this film will understand who the Mojahedin are or who Maryam Rajavi is.

In fact, only those who knows the reality on which the film is based will understand the it. As a result, they don't need to watch the film.

Because watching the film will only confuse them more. For example, in the scene where a man is dancing on the rooftop, it's not clear whose wedding it is.

In my opinion, the film is more of an audio-visual clutter, so my optimistic rating for it is 5; just for the subject and the good performance of Jaleh Sameti.

Moreover, those white LED lights in the garland weren't made in the late '80s; they belong to the late '90s.
