Mother-daughter’s heart-breaking parting in ‘Setayesh’

Setayesh is to make the gloomiest departure of her life in the 15th episode of iFilm’s popular series ‘Setayesh’.

Following the sad events that happened to Mohammad that led to his death, Taher was held responsible for aiding and abetting him to hide and then flee the country, which later cost him his life.

Setayesh’s parents could never come to terms with the loss of their son even when she confessed it was her that helped her brother and Taher was not to blame for it.

Although Setayesh’s father let her marry Taher, his condition for the union is that he would never accept Taher in his house. It means Setayesh must once and forever part with her dear mother and her childhood house.

Emotions reach their utmost when the mother and daughter say their last goodbye.
