There, she experiences a new kind of freedom, having to do her own groceries and laundry, which she enjoys even with her limited grasp of the German language. The difference in domestic relationship is noted by Marji, who compares them to her own parents, who she considers more competent.Īfter ten days, Zozo finally caves in and sends Marji to a boarding school run by nuns. In fact, she seems to bond most with Houshang, Zozo’s husband, most, who was often accused of ‘gambling away’ their capital by Zozo in their daily fights.
Shirin, their daughter, seem out-of-touch with the situation in Iranian, which inhibits Marji from befriending her for real. From financial problems to dropping in their social status, Zozo and her family represent what numerous high-status Iranians would have experienced when they relocated to foreign countries. Her initial plan to stay with Zozo and her family falls through when their family seems to experience one problem after another due to their immigration to Austria. After her initial arrival, where she was picked up by Zozo, her mother’s old friend, she finds herself in a situation unlike one she had imagined.
