Tired of her marriage to Behzad, Sima is looking for a new home for herself and her teenage daughter Minoo, without telling him. Meanwhile, we see Behzad arranging a chance meeting with his ex-girlfriend in the hope of rekindling their intimacy. At the same time, the film follows Minoo, who casually takes the initiative at a traffic light and begins a flirt with Keyvan. As if by magic, she knows his name and the two begin to share their innermost thoughts. Over the course of a week, the film paints a sociological snapshot of Tehran.

Presented in the Giornate degli Autori at the Venice International Film Festival.
