english: My obsession with this book, and the reason I made this into a film, is because it at once was addressing the question of being a female -- traditionally, historically in Iran -- and the question of four women who are all looking for an idea of change, freedom and democracy -- while the country of Iran, equally, as if another character, also struggled for an idea of freedom and democracy and independence from the foreign interventions.
non_english: Moja opsesija ovom knjigom i razlog zbog kog sam je pretočila u film je što se ona postavlja pitanje kako izgleda biti žena - tradicionalno, istorijski u Iranu - i pitanje četiri žene koje su u potrazi za idejom promene, slobode i demokratije - dok se Iran, podjednako, kao da je odvojen od njih, takođe borio za ideju slobode i demokratije, kao i nezavisnosti od stranih investitora.
