Documentary director Mohammad Rosoulof makes an impressive feature debut with this simple but powerful true story of prison life in Iran, featuring real-life prisoners playing themselves. A prison warden decides that in order to rehabilitate a repeat offender he should allow him to marry a female prisoner. The new bride and groom are allowed to be together one day a week and eventually have a child. When they are finally freed, they see a chance to have a normal life together, not expecting the cruel society that awaits them.
