(Sorry. My English is not good)
Sarina Farhadi who played the daughter was really 11 years old when she played the part. I know this for sure because I read her interviews and also she played a small role in the film "Tambourine" (2008) and at that time she was an 8 years old kid and she looked like an 8 years old kid. She's just one of those people that look older than they really are in the adolescence.

Actually your English is fine. Sarina Farhadi (Termeh) was born in 1992 according to her father's bio in Wiki. Making her ~19 years old at the time of the film's release in 2011.

reply

Sorry, but Wiki it's not trustworthy most of the times. I'm an Iranian and know this for sure. I followed her roles from her childhood (when she played in her mother's TV series) and I'm certain of it.

reply

The woman has red hair because of.. wait for it.. hair dye!

reply

I think the red hair dye shows that the mom is Americanized. She seems to have a lot of freedom there working, driving and dying her hair. Not what you would expect as a woman in Iran.

reply

I think she just has red hair. Why not?

reply

I agree completely that she looked, and acted, much older than 11.

reply

I thought she was a HS kid.

reply

Certainly looked like 18. Her wise tired eyes can give her 30 years also !
