De acordo com esta revisão no IMDB, o diretor explicou no lançamento Q + A que a cena de abertura mostrava o costume iraniano de colocar notas dobradas em uma caixa de esmolas antes de viajar.
Farhadi explained it was an alms box that travelers put money in before a trip to ask for a safe trip, and yes, there was some dialog about Elly putting money in an alms box, but I never connected it to the opening scene.
