Ok let's remake the plot. I think part that Laila leaves Ali is ok. And "romance" between Sarah and Monica is need to be developt. So let's remake plot

Leila after leave the Ali goes to Sarah's house while Monica is on a buisness trip for a week. Leila has no joy in life now so the most positive person she knows Sarah is welcome her at home. Then Sarah tell that she needs to express her feelings. After that they are going to have sex and Leila had her best week. But when Monica comes back she see that Sarah is care and spend more time than her and then they started a fight. Meanwhile Leila's friends say that she need to came back to Ali. But she doesn't want to. But she see that Ali is in a very bad situation. She is angry and think that Sarah is the reason of that but actually she is select that. Then she see her at office's bathroom and slaps her in the face. But Sarah explain that she is also in a big trouble because Monica left her. And both of them realise that they have pretty much in common about fashion, atractions, ect. And they make out.

The End.

I think this better than what we got.

First off, I want to express my disgust at the PR folks for sexualizing and over-playing the non-existent lesbian angle. The poster is the biggest deception of this movie.

Secondly, I watched the movie despite the negative reviews. This movie is for those who understand and live within traditions. It's a timid yet effective character study of a traditional Iranian-Canadian woman whose inner desires are sparked by her lesbian boss' romantic overtures. It's about empowerment, in the sense that we must be free to make the choices we want, whether it be outside of our traditions' norms or within them. At the end, I felt tenderness for the heroine, who wound up making the decision she wanted, NOT what anyone thought she ought to do.

I think there may have been a lot of disappointment from folks who hoped her decisions would've been different, but the writer/director wrote the character so well, I was just happy she came to her own decision regarding her life.

Controversial, yes, because as I write this, I can come up with five other counter- arguments, but as a film, I think it was a good endeavor.

In 2012, the film depicts a man ordering pizza and writing on a piece of paper while driving. Nice. Perhaps distracted driving is not as serious in Canada.

Leila is an immigrant of Iranian descent in Canada. Leila is taking a class in which she makes designer clothing. She helps make pizzas with her husband Ali at his shop Canadian Pizza now and then. At a party, she gets a job offer through her connections from class. Ali is happy for her success. Early on, her boss Sarah invites her for a drink at a lesbian bar. Leila and Sarah discuss their cultural differences.

Ali's business fortunes start to decline along with that of the local economy. Leila is doing well, but her boss is coming on to her. Ali fires two of his staff; Leila is at the pizza shop more often after work, but she's not happy with it. Ali is a hothead who does not suffer gladly racial lies and insults from Anglo Canadians. Leila gets more discouraged while Ali spirals downward.

Leila's boss renews her romantic approaches to Leila, who slowly gets more receptive. In the middle of all this, Leila finds that she is pregnant. She decides to terminate without mentioning this to Ali. Ali put the house on the market without mentioning this to Leila. These two choices were not good, possibly terminal, to the marriage. Leila leaves in a huff. She makes arrangements to live elsewhere, and Ali wonders where she is and what's going on. After meeting Ali at the office, Sarah dismisses him as too simple for Leila.

Will Leila go through with the termination? Will Ali and Leila get back together? Will Ali keep his business? Will Sarah get what she wants?
