Synopsis

During the beginning of the Iranian Islamic revolution:
Reza, tough and bold in his appearance, returns to his home in Tehran, after 8 years of sacrificing work in Japan. With the earnings he had sent over during all the years, he proudly plans to buy land, start a new business, and live a well deserved decent life with his family - meaning his parents, his sister and his grandmother. But Reza's energy clashes with his sister spending the day on the couch in total boredom, his father not living at home, his grandmother aged to muteness, and his mother overacting in pretending normality. Soon Reza loses his patience and uncovers a huge mess. He responds with a stunning fight for justice to himself and the love he has given and invested.
