Adjustment

Shahrokh sits in the classroom, scraping off his nail polish anxiously. The Villagers complain the Teacher, calling Shahrokh a wicked boy, who must be kicked out of the school for his effeminacy and the bad effect he may produce on other students. The Teacher asks Shahrokh not to come to school for a few days until he comes up with a solution. In the night, Shahkroh’s father asks his son to show him his hands and flips out when he sees one of Shahrokh’s hands with painted nails; because the guests are to come to their house to ask for Shahrokh sister’s hand and father thinks Shahrokh
brings shame on him by his behavior.
