Vazirdaftari discussed the script in depth with two leading actresses, Tannaz Tabatabaei and Shadi Karamroudi. Building characters was a collaborative process, that required hours of rehearsals. But at the same time the director had the actors’ trust. “I knew that if I tell them: ‘It doesn’t work’ they will try and change it,” says Vazirdaftari. ”I believe that the backstage atmosphere somehow seeps into the final film,” the director says with a smile. “My actors were so prepared. It was not like your usual gig. We agreed to give this film all we had and we did.”
