Azadeh is a sports champion, but at home, her mother doesn’t take her accomplishments properly and tries to get her to be the person she wants.

A mosaic of stories explore Iranian modernity. Following a Persian literary model, personal dilemmas, fanciful speculations and historical motifs follow one another, establishing evocative correspondences between them. From the commitment with which the characters narrate events, it is clear that, beyond history, human time corresponds to myth and anecdote: mythological birds, misregistered surnames, scars from chemical weapons, and memories of deceased women.

About how the sudden and unexpected death of someone may become a start point of the new shared story of two young peoples.
