Sinekatalog’s take

An Iranian drama about two wealthy families whose lives are gradually falling apart. It examines pressures behind polished facades with a restrained touch, appropriate for viewers who appreciate family tragedies told in a muted register.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
