It could be called a modern Romeo and Juliette of today's Islam world.

A young college girl falls in love with a boy from the university she attends. Having an affair with a boy will inevitably bring lots of shame to her family. Will she be ready to put her family through shame in order to pursuit happiness?
There is no death in this movie, no blood spilled but it is no less tragic than original Shakespeare's play.

We do not see much of "Romeo", mostly the girl and her parents. And the movie is about woman's fate in that part of the world, in that culture, her place in the society. There are no bad people in the film, just backward traditions that break peoples lives.
The movie is extremely authentic, it is very subtle and nuanced.

Great debut!… Expand
