It’s Ziba’s birthday… For a teenage, student working girl, living in a dormitory, with no bonds to her parents, it is a dream to move to a room of her own. She’s struggling to find a path to be independent, but everything becomes even more complicated when her dad, Khosro, shows up. He has escaped from a psychiatric hospital to celebrate the special day with his daughter…

This cinematic film addresses the competitive challenges faced by athletes and has been written jointly by Milad Sadr Amali and Ali Asghari.

Taraneh is a model 15-year-old Iranian girl, studious and filial, who supports her ailing grandmother with a job at a photo shop and visits her father (who has been imprisoned for reasons never made clear in the film) bearing gifts of cigarettes and magazines. But when Amir, a young man from a well-off family, sets his sights on Taraneh and courts her with an intensity that borders on stalking, her well-ordered life spirals into chaos.
