"Masterful, elegant. . . " - Variety
"One of the most enjoyable and original films to come out of Iran in recent years." - U.C.L.A. Center for Near Eastern Studies
A young widow takes over her late husband's truck stop café, keeping hidden in the kitchen so as not to cause a scandal in Iran's conservative society. But her brother-in-law, out of familial obligation, wants to take her as a wife and also take over the café. Meanwhile a Greek trucker who is a frequent café customer, is slowly entranced - at first by her sublime cooking ability, and then by her.
From the screenwriter of The Circle and Iran's 2007 Academy-Award submission.
