Critical response
The story depicts the modern Iran, in which the call for freedom and independence among women is stronger than ever. It also highlights the sharp contrast of social behaviour between the developed cities, such as Tehran, and rural areas. While the movie includes several heartbreaking references to inequality of men and women, exploring the unhealthy relationship of family members with a feminist approach helps the audience to realise how much more the movie has to offer. The movie introduces the father of Setare as a stereotypical Iranian father, who is simultaneously kind and strict, the mother, a sentimental woman who has the role of explaining the father's harsh overprotectiveness of the daughter, and the daughter who is like a lioness in chains, craves freedom.
