Nahid Persson who made award-winning has now completed this intimate, often humorous, portrait of the four wives Farang, Goli, Shahpar and Ziba and their husband, their astoundingly fee-spoken mother-in-law and their numerous children, all in one Iranian village. They live under one roof in a house seething with sex, love and money scheming. The wives are bitter rivals, yet co-conspirators against their macho husband; sometimes he hits them when they're disobedient. Wife 2 was forced into the marriage her parents thought their divorcee daughter would never find a man. Wife 3 wanted a divorce, but he refused. Mr Heda sees to his sheep, wondering which wife he'll spend the night with. Wife 4 is a clear favourite at present. His choice made, he'll make sure her door is unbolted that evening; she gets the message. His mother claims he has one thing only in his head "pussy". Will he marry yet again?
