This film offers a critical look at Iran today, a complex country where young generations still struggle with traditions and orders imposed upon them.

During the entire film, a woman carries her baby around on her arm, looking for shelter for the night. Along the way she encounters several obstacles, typical for life in Iran. Prejudice, suspicion, corruption and tradition are inextricably connected to the country where the film is set.

 

The film is all about finding a quick solution to a simple problem. The story stands or falls with the main character’s conversations with several people she addresses and asks for help. Through these conversations, the viewer learns something about the Irani society. Its repressive, controlled, corrupt character is clearly manifested.
