Saeed
Saeed lives in a country at the brink of destruction. Religious militants are trying to take over the government, and the once peaceful country is now in delirium. Saeed lives in a chaotic part of the country, which was once an upper-class estate. He works with selling advertisement, though he attends business class in the evenings. He falls in love with his co-student, Nadia. Saeed is not very religious, but he finds praying important, as it connects him with his maker.
Nadia
Nadia is a strong-minded woman. She lives in the same country as Saeed, and they fall in love after Saeed ask her out on a date during the business classes they have together in the evenings. Nadia uses the cultural and religious aspects of the society for her own good. Even though she isn’t religious at all, she decides to wear the most religious garments she can find, to protect herself. She enjoys traveling and sees the joy in the small things in life.
Saeed’s father
Saeed’s father is strongly in love with Saeed’s mother, and they love each other fiercely. He works as a professor at a university and is at the age of retirement though he chooses to continue working, because of financial lack. He is not confident in his choice of work, as he wishes that he could do more for his family than he currently is, and he tries his best to keep his family and friends as close to himself as possible, hoping to take care of them.
