Iran’s Sharia laws are too strict for Betty, and this new world—which is the complete opposite of America in every way—leads her to endure a terrifying two weeks. However, at the end of these two weeks—which she wanted to end more than anything—her husband makes a terrible decision: From now on, we will stay in Iran for the rest of our lives!
