This was a good multi-generational family drama with many side characters and stories that all stem somewhat from the death of Mitra’s sister, Anahita.
I was not blown away by the story, but there were tremendous character arcs, like Yusef, Shireen, and Mitra’s. Dark themes were heavily involved and I would recommend checking trigger warnings if you are interested in reading this well-written Iranian character-driven story.
