Directed by Behrooz Afkhami

A married factory manager struggles with the dire financial situation of his company while he also becomes involved in an emotional, unstable affair. With its open treatment of infidelity, this Iranian Fatal Attraction proved to be quite controversial in Iran, and also a box office success. "Afkhami, however, surpasses (Adrian) Lyne's thriller with his subtlety, complexity, and compassion, and his vision of a world of moral ambiguity layered with unexpected corruption and innocence" (Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix). Persian with English subtitles.
