As the woman fits it on her face Mahtob’s last white blurred view of her parents home disappears, and she realize, that when her mother brought the tea hours ago, it was the last time she saw her for a long time to come. The sheik says “I’m sure you’re longing to avoid the sad sight of earthly life. Mahtob must continue in school. Nearly a year has passed. They are probably not like that, when you get to know each other a little better. We have agreed on a marriage on thursday, to let you start your life together on the holy friday. She has the first turn. She just takes a blanket and lies down to sleep. Next Mahtob is covered likewise. She spends most of her day at Ali’s house, where she share the house chores with Ali’s wives, but they rarely communicate. After a knocking at the door, the woman opening returns and pulls her to the door. Betty has brought the shirt from her day of arrival. Moody’s brother takes some clothes items from the table. So the first step is, how to reunite with Mahtob. Each woman has a different decoration. Now that her legs, arms and face is properly covered only a few items remain: A standard large opaque veil, but of course in white, is put over her head, covering the masks facial contours and the head in general, and a thick white chador reaching the ground leaves only the veil to be seen in its face opening. The men must have left for friday prayers at the mosque. The other women do not eat, apperently they have eaten already. Then she notice a number below the school badge at the left side of the chest. As they get close they see that his son Farzad and Moody’s brother-in-law Ali is there as well. The worst that could happen, added to their already miserable situation. Not without her daughter. The aftermoon is nearly identical to the morning. After waiting maybe an hour the door is unlocked and the woman enters. The next day at two o’clock the policeman arrives with another man. Shirine and Farideh show their arms and embrace each other. Everything except the face is covered by a thin but opaque chador with printed flower patterns in white, grey and black shades. Late at night, she was at the sheik’s house. Totally unaccustomed to the sight through the mask, she walks out of the bathroom as a blind. After the noon prayer the men sit down and sign the marriage contract. Twenty, thirty minutes later the prayer call sounds again. This device and the strict clothing is a small prize to pay for you to get to know my family and learn a modest and pious way of living, much closer to the ideals of our religion, than where we came from. Mahtob doesn’t even get pregnant, even if the sheik tries every thursday evening. Two days later Moody stops working in the early aftenoon to drive to a golf course fifty kilometers away, as he usually does once a week. When coming out from the bathroom, an unknown woman has arrived with lots of clothes – all white. The girl at the blackboard now has a book in her hands. They all put one on their right hand and start taking food from the dishes up under their scarf to the mouth. Men having American wives are few. The men go to Moody’s house, where the bride is, while all the other women go to the women’s section of Ali’s house. Then a bottle of liquid nutrition is placed in a strap on the waist belt, and the tube is connected to the bottle. Let’s wait for the prayer call, and thank Allah together.” Betty was not surprised. She is placed on the toilet only allowed to lift her chadors and push her trousers and pantyhose down to the ankles. Then Shirine leaves and returns shortly after with a note block and a pencil. She puts on the indoor chador and buckles it at the chin. She will get two weeks, where Mahtob and her can see and write with each other, before communication will be reduced to hugs and squeezing hands. To avoid she will just run out, her ankles are cuffed and connected with a short leather strap only allowing half a foot steps. The Internet Movie Database plot outline reads: “Moody” is an Iranian doctor living in America with his American wife Betty and their child Mahtob. She goes back to the other room, where the woman is waiting with a pot of tea. She shakes her head, because she can’t read Farsi. Nothing happens for twenty minutes. She has been muted. And the sheik send him a note every month, saying that Mahtob is doing well and in good health. The women of the house and the daughter leave to do the dishes. Then Moody spots his brother Nader, waves and they start walking toward him. When they stand next to the women Nader says still in English “Here we have my wives, your sister, her co-wife and their daughter.” The five women slowly turn towards where the voice is coming from, and now Betty see that the face opening of their heavy black chadors is completely covered by an opague black piece of cloth. A small microchip has been inserted next to the nerve fiber controlling your vocal cords. Betty and Ali’s wives come to Moody’s house to make sure everything is in order in the men’s section of the house. She puts her thumb down in the open ink bottle and presses it at the paper to the right of the two other prints. Mahtob look at herself in the mirror and says “Must I wear this veil, I feel hot and breathless just by putting it on.” Her mother says “You know that the modesty laws of Iran from 2012 allows only hands and eyes showing for all women in public, including tourists and other foreigners. After pouring the tea each of the gowned women take a glass and put a straw in it. They start walking towards the sun. Taking her out will start the talk, comprimising their honour. Moody quietly joins him, while the women enter the women’s section, where the women are praying as well. We’re not allowed to enter. Prayers. Then she lift the glass to her mouth and let her drink. No walks to their own house for school books. They are training spelling. Returning late in the evening to their own house, Betty immediately gets paper and pencil and writes “WHY AM I MUTE? I have talked to him, and he is on his way to bring you to his home.” The sheik arrived of course alone. Moody says “Mahtob, happy birthday. Moody is happy, because he found a man, who will give Mahtob a protected life according to their traditional beleifs.
