Description
Arezou is an active divorced woman who manages a real estate agency in Tehran. She is also a single mom to Ayeh, a capricious teenage girl whose father lives in France. She takes care of her mother, Mah-Monir, who still expects to be treated as the princess she really is. Good with her employees, she has the best relationship with her girlfriend Shirine but has no time left to take care of herself. The day she meets the locksmith Zardjou, her life turns upside down. From the very first pages of "On s’y fera", the amusing but serious tone carries a story of daily life in Tehran today, rich with love stories, familial conflicts, as well as cultural and generational clashes. The anecdotes and memories described all contribute to bring a realistic vision of the Iranian society, the courage of the Iranian women and their silent battle to be respected. Her heroine, despite the familial pressure, the deceptions of the past, and the ubiquitous tension in Iran, stays very much attached to the unchanging values of her country, and stays hopeful for the future.
