    • Synopsis
    • Esfahan, Iran. Melina lives with her grandparents since her parents’ divorce. She wants to live with her mother, but this is not possible because both her father and new stepfather are against it. Besides that, Melina’s mother struggles balancing her relationship with her new spouse and fostering a proper relationship with her daughter. Celebrating her 9th birthday, Melina is finally old enough to bring her custody case to court. With the law on her side, she hopes to eventually choose her own custodian. Unfortunately, Melina is not aware of how the adult world is organized and how reality will probably play out differently.
