Border Café (Café Transit)
a film by Kambozia Partovi

Near Iran's border with Turkey, Reyhan, newly widowed with two young daughters to look after, sits outside her late husband's restaurant as a group of men discuss what is to become of the business and of her.   Nasser, her brother-in-law, proposes that they follow local tradition: he will marry Reyhan and take responsibility for her and her girls, moving them into a house shared with his mother and his first wife.
