Good acting but very unbelievable
The film is very slow paced. What makes it hard to watch is the un-believability of the dynamic between a lot of the characters.
There is the female lead (the mother) and she has 3 children in the house.
The ex-husband returns.
He seems to have a close connection with two of the girls. He does not have a close connection with the boy.
The boy turns out to be the son of the mothers current lover.
A little later it is revealed that the 2 girls are not the children of the ex-husband. They are the children of another ex-husband who lives in Brussels whom we never see or hear in the story.
The above is what made the film hard t swallow.
Other than that and the slowness, the acting was good and very well filmed.
I wonder if this sort of family dynamic is more common in Iranian households?
