Director: Asghar Naimi
Family pressure meets stubborn resolve in 2 Rooz Dirtar, a 2023 Iranian comedy about a young couple whose plans for the future keep colliding with everyone else's opinions about them.
What is 2 Rooz Dirtar about?
Sohail and Maryam are a young married couple weighing whether to start a family, and their answer is no, not yet, no matter how many relatives weigh in. Maryam's parents push back with a steady stream of advice, guilt, and gentle scheming, turning what should be a private decision into a running household debate. The comedy builds from generational misunderstanding rather than slapstick, finding humor in dinner-table arguments, well-meaning meddling, and the couple's increasingly creative excuses. As the pressure mounts from multiple directions, Sohail and Maryam have to figure out how much of their life plan they're willing to negotiate, and how much they intend to hold onto no matter what.
Cast & crew
Farhad Aeesh and Pardis Ahmadieh play the couple at the center of the story, with Kamand Amirsoleimani rounding out the small, tightly focused cast that keeps the comedy centered on family dynamics rather than a large ensemble.
Context & significance
Directed by Asghar Naimi, 2 Rooz Dirtar is a straightforward domestic comedy, the kind of Iranian film that mines everyday generational tension for laughs rather than reaching for broader satire. Its small cast and single-household setting keep the story intimate, letting the jokes come from character rather than plot mechanics.
