Come and watch an Iranian comedy-romance movie with English subtitles, and enjoy Persian snacks. The film tells the story of Shirin, a young woman raised in a traditional family with a strict, conservative father. When she starts working at her uncle’s travel agency, she meets David, an American man who instantly falls in love with her. Their relationship faces cultural clashes, family pressure, and schemes from rivals who try to stop the marriage. As misunderstandings grow and obstacles pile up, love, perseverance, and honesty are put to the test—leading to a heartfelt and humorous conclusion that bridges cultures and traditions.
