That Afternoon

Roya flees an asylum seekers' centre to avoid being deported from Netherlands to Iran. She has the address of Nassim – another Iranian who helps refugees in her situation. But when she arrives at the apartment, only Nassim's brother is there. Since he won't let Roya in, she decides to wait for Nassim in the hallway. Soon they start a conversation, thanks to which we'll come to know a great deal about the different perspectives of these two people: she has a youthful, idealistic and optimistic spirit; he is embittered and guarded, carrying a heavy burden.
