The chapter begins in a point where Marjane is growing up. We are introduced to Taher, a sick man who becomes even more ill after a heart attack. This means that he must have open heart surgery. The difficulty of getting a passport legally makes the wife eventually have to resort to fake passports, though he did not leave on time, as his passport was delayed. I can relate this to the difficulty of getting a visa to Saudi Arabia, shallow as that reference may be. I remember that it took around 5 months to get the visa to enter the country, even though my father already lived and worked there and the company was government owned.
