i watched the movie just after reading a travel account book of a great Iranian author living a few months in a far remote village in Iran before the revolution and writing of their difficult life in a very difficult land and struggling with poverty. It said that a very simple soup was what the women usually cooked as food and they had meat only when a sheep or goat fell of a mountain and they had to kill it before it would die!
When i watched the movie, the first thing impressed me were the village, the villagers and the two sisters who regularly served the old people of village with hot soup and warm clothes. I would watch the rest of movie tonight.
