As Iranian prime minister, Mohammad Ali Foroughi was determined to make the Iranian people adopt the European culture and so the whole nation was demanded to leave behind their own world view.

Next to all the modifications were expected of the nation, they were supposed to change the way they attired, no matter whether they were men or women.

In tonight’s episode of the show, the people’s resilience against the new-set laws is manifested quite well.
