In a bleak, snow‑covered Tehran suburb, a dismissed man sees no future and leaves his wife and child to seek happiness abroad, vanishing for months. A car mechanic arrives seeking work; the attractive single mother cannot ignore him. Their tension mirrors a generation of doubtful Iranians torn between wanting to leave and not knowing how to begin.
