The devout Muslim protagonist learns that their cow has been defiled by his own son. In the dilemma between reality and religion, he must decide whether to prioritize their own interests or follow the word of God. Through the hardships faced by an ordinary family, the director subtly exposes the patriarchal attitudes and issues related to women’s rights in Islamic culture. (Kristin JI)
