Unfinished Stories employs a structure familiar to Western indie cinema by following a set of seemingly random but interlocking episodes. Debut director Pourya Azarbayjani presents the tales of several women who spend much of the film alone on the streets of Tehran after dark – a particularly fraught place for unescorted women in a Muslim nation. The film's three primary stories each represents a different point in the cycles of courtship and childbirth. One young woman hopes to elope with her unseen fiance, but faces insurmountable problems when he doesn't show up. An older, married woman seeks to buy a pregnancy test, the results of which could dictate her marriage's fate. A new mother at a hospital resorts to drastic measures when a financial problem arises.

The film contains four different stories. In the first story Jahan is a 32 years old man who is dreaming of becoming famous. In the second story Afsaneh and Reza are a middle aged couple who are facing new problems and difficulties in their life. Third Laleh and Kaveh are waiting for their first child to be born and finally Sara is a young girl who is decided to live with a different identity.

Amir, a 60-year-old Iranian man, arrives in Hingham, Massachusetts, on a tourist visa and rents an Airbnb across the street from the house of Fariborz—an old friend and former comrade from the Iran-Iraq war, now living with his distant wife and young grandson. They haven’t seen each other in over forty years.

Soroor and Amir first met 20 years ago. Since then, she has been widowed and is now the single mother of a child. And he got married. But their friendship has remained.
