After bearing three daughters, Mina has just one more chance: her next child has to be a boy or her husband will marry another woman according to tradition and the rules of the Bakhtiari tribe. This time, Mina decides not to have an ultrasound, for fear of the result. As the snowdrifts become deeper, and the outside door will barely open anymore, the atmosphere in the household becomes increasingly oppressive. Will there be a happy ending with the birth of a son, or are we watching a life that is about to fall apart? THE SNOW CALLS is an intimate portrait about the painful tension between love and age-old tradition.
