Time of Love (Persian: نوبت عاشقی, romanized: Nobat-e âšeqi; Turkish: Aşkın Zamanı) is a 1990 film by Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, based on a story written by Makhmalbaf himself. The film consists of three episodes, all with relatively similar plots.

It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
Young Gozal whose husband is a taxi driver has an affair with a young blond shoeshine boy. One day an old man who can't hear well is recording the bird's songs when he hears what they say to each other. So he finds out about their affair and tells everything to Gozal's black-haired husband. The black–haired kills the young blond boy and injures Gozal and then surrenders himself to the court. He is sentenced to death and is thrown into the sea as he chooses. Gozal commits suicide in her regular meeting place.
Second Narrative:
This time the blond–haired man and Gozal are husband and wife, and Gozal is in love with the black – haired. The blond – haired is the taxi driver and the black–haired is a hawker. The old man gets to know about the affair between Gozal and the black – haired and informs the blond–haired. He intends to kill the black – haired but is killed himself. The black–haired is sentenced to death and as he asks, he is hanged on the tree under which he saw Gozal for the first time. Gozal commits suicide in the hospital.
Third Narrative:
