A young divorcee living with her son in a small northern city of Iran, wants to marry the man she has fallen in love with. According to the current rules, the father has the custody of children; however, her ex-husband has granted her that right on the condition that she does not remarry. Struggling to keep both of her beloved ones, she has to think about the third option: temporary marriage (sighe). However, this will get her into a predicament, as despite it being legal, sighe is not well-received by the society at all. Would a temporary marriage really be a good solution for her?

Ida Panahandeh’s debut feature has been screened and awarded at
festivals all over the world. It is a poignant and compelling, yet sensitive drama about an Iranian woman’s struggle for independence, freedom and love on her own terms.
