Please Don't Disturb is about that Three interwoven stories about life in modern day Iran that explore the redemptive qualities of human nature. A TV host tries to prevent his wife from telling authorities that he assaulted her, a clergyman tries to get legal documents back from the man who robbed him, and a thief suffers a crisis of conscience when an elderly couple force him to reconsider his values. Taking a voyeuristic look beneath the veneer of ordinary tragedy, Mohsen Abdolvahab's Please Don't Disturb is a dramatic tour-de-force about our innate capacity for forgiveness.

When, due to the doctors’ timely diagnosis, Kiana was on the path to a full recovery, Saideh Ghods resolved to prevent the unnecessary deaths of children with cancer caused by lack of access to therapeutic facilities or insufficient financial resources. Ghods founded MAHAK over 25 years ago. It quickly gained fame and support throughout Iran. Today it is one of the most highly functioning and trusted charities in the country.
