From the Oscar-winning director of A Separation and the Silver Bear-winning About Elly, Asghar Farhadi, FIREWORKS WEDNESDAY is an engrossing portrait of three marriages set against the backdrop of the Persian New Year. The story begins with Rouhi (Taraneh Alidoosti), a young bride-to-be who takes a temporary job cleaning for a family in northern Tehran. Upon arriving at the apartment she finds herself in the middle of an explosive domestic conflict between Mojdeh (Hedyeh Tehrani) and her husband Morteza (Hamid Farokh-Nejad). Mojdeh suspects that Morteza is cheating on her with the next door neighbour, Simin (Pantea Bahram), a woman who set up an illegal beauty salon in her apartment after her own marriage broke up.
