Qanbar (Ahmad Mehranfar) was thinking about the progress of the country and insisted that they have children. [5] Sanam (Shabnam Moghaddami) gave birth to her child on the day her children and daughters-in-law came to her house. In order to hide the child from his other children, Qanbar tells them that someone had left the child behind the door of the house and he picked it up and brought it inside. While recreating the scene, he leaves the child behind the door and does not see the child when he opens the door. Qanbar and Sanam become anxious and go looking for the baby, and this makes the older children realize that the missing child is their sister.. [6]
