Mum's Guest

Guests are on their way to a poor family's home, and the mother has no idea how to put a dinner on the table with what little the household has. Dariush Mehrjui, adapting the book by Houshang Moradi Kermani, follows the family through one evening as everyone scrambles to make the visit look easy. If the meal falls short, the mother's pride and the family's standing in front of their guests go with it.
