Forough, a 42-year-old
female Iranian documentary-maker is successful in her work, but
faces problems in her private life. She is divorced and thinking
about starting a new relationship. But her teenage son Mani regards
himself as the man about the house. This results in a covert war
of nerves between mother and son. In the meantime Frough's latest
commission is to make a documentary on "the ideal mother".
She serrounds herself with videotapes on which women talk about
the social problems they experience, such as the painful consequences
of the war with Iraq. The differences with Frough's feelings become
painfully apparent.
