The fantastic Shohreh Agdashloo leads the cast of Bijan Sheibani's adaptation of The House of Bernarda Alba. 


Transporting the yearning and rebellion to Iran, Bernarda rules over her daughters with an iron fist. When her husband dies, she decrees that the entire household observe a period of mourning for eight years.

The eldest daughter is already engaged and may escape the melancholy future her mother has laid before her sisters but she might not be the only one.
