In the presence of the film crew

In Shemroon, north of Tehran, Iman and his younger brother Payar live together with their father. After the death of their mother, Iman seeks a way out of his overturned life. Thanks to his connections with the gilded youth of the city, he starts up a business to make some fast cash. What at first seems an opportunity for a new beginning follows a twisted path that affects the family’s destiny.
