The main character of the film doesn't speak a word. Their is a silent love in the film. For many years following the Iranian Revolution in 1979, women and love related films were banned in Iran. But the Third Republic is far more tolerant and emancipated. Filmmakers are given further freedom to construct the type of narration they want to. Baran, is the exact example of that. Latif mutely observes Baran. She is combing her hair by the window, and he sees her silhouette. Such a naive representation of women and/or love could have been considered immoral in Iran, just a few years back.
