The Sale

Forough is an Iranian woman in her forties who, with the help of her best friend, has dozens of visitors coming to her big house to buy second hand furniture and clothes. Her husband was sent to jail when he could not pay the ‘mehrieh’, a kind of dowry, for his second wife he married without telling Forough. The second wife would like the first wife to sell the house in order to pay their mutual husband’s debt. Forough disagrees and tries her best to dissuade the young woman.
