Perfect picturisation of a real story. It brought the high handedness of male dominance and religious fundamentalism. A piece of dialogue between two characters -
Ebrahim: When a man accuses his wife, she must prove her innocence. That is the law. On the other hand, if a wife accuses her husband, she must prove his guilt. Do you understand?
Zahra: [to Ebrahim] Yes, it's clear, all women are guilty, and all men are innocent. Correct.
