Prolific director Dariush Mehrjui
chose to adapt Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House as his
followup to the ground-breaking Hamoun.
Appropriately submissive, Sara is a suitable wife to Hessam until
he requires expensive emergency surgery abroad. She
obtains the money for his operation through a shady loan and spends
the next three years secretly paying it off so as not to sully
his male pride. When the truth about the loan is revealed,
the truth behind their marriage is exposed.

“The beautifully crafted "Sara" is Ibsen's
Nora (A
Doll's House) in burqa . . .”
