It's captivating to watch the main character Hayati's story, as he struggles through a marriage and ends up discovering the real reason about his father's suicide. He seems to be "weak" in relation to his dominant wife, who rightfully resents Hayati for not delivering the things he promised.
He seems unable to take a stand in the face of challenges of life and a bit lost in his own dreamy & idealistic & intellectual world. Just as he seems "incompetent" and "impotent," however, he is able to show rare courage by admitting to a crime he didn't commit.
The director wants us to reflect on the question of whether we are responsible for actions we didn't take. It's not only our actions that place responsibility on our shoulders but also the things we didn't do.
The story weaves together themes such as love, marriage, longing, idealism, power dynamics, repression, torture etc. Most striking theme, however, is how one can/should feel responsibility for things he/she didn't do.
Great story, beautiful cinematography.
Love it!
