About
You may like this if you’re into slow-burn, character-focused dramas about social inequality and quiet tension, similar to Taste of Cherry or Ten; Not for you if you want fast pacing, clear answers, or big plot turns.
Pros: vivid sense of Tehran; subtle, tense mood; thoughtful social themes | Cons: slow, dragging pace; unclear character motives; plot feels thin
