The economic crisis paralyzes all impulses and prevents the half-brothers Ali and Reza from breaking out of the regiment of their despotic father Gholam, who spends his nights with drug friends. When the cultured Rana moves in next door, an opportunity for change opens up. But the budding romance turns into a dark thriller – driven by the urge for money, power and control and carried by Hassan Purshirazi’s portrayal of the overpowering father – a figure as terrifying as he is fascinating, a symbol of an unleashed patriarchal system.
