Man Choubam (I am good)

Hosted by

Sharon Mashihi is a weirdo and refuses to conform to cultural standards, which has been hard on her relationship with her mom.  But Sharon saw a chance to mend the strife when she bought a ticket to a cruise with Farhang Holakouee, a famous Iranian talk-show psychiatrist. Could therapy and sunshine fix their relationship? Spoiler alert: on the way to the boat, the “Titanic” soundtrack played in the background.
