Hamed and Sepideh are not in a relationship anymore; they parted ways and the college years in which they watched movies together are just a far-off memory. Hamed has pursued his passion for music, he has recently released his first album and has been married for a year with a music instructor, Minoo. Sepideh has become an English teacher for preschoolers and is now wed to a builder, Massoud, who ironically can’t seem to build a solid marriage. In spite of everything, Hamed hasn’t forgotten about Sepideh yet and, when she goes back to their hometown, Minoo encourages her husband to meet her and clear his mind about what he really wants. With the collusion of a long time friend who owns a stationer, Hamed orchestrates an accidental meeting with Sepideh, in the attempt to find out more about her current life and, at the same time, to put himself to test.

Sarah is leaving Teheran for three years to study for her doctorate in Canada. Her flight is at 6 am. After an emotionally fraught final dinner with her family, she heads to an impromptu farewell party at her friend Farida’s apartment, intending to go straight to the airport afterwards. That plan implodes, however, when the morality police swoop in. Drinks are emptied, musical instruments hidden and women put on their overcoats, while Sarah is seized with terror that they will all be arrested – and she, of course, will miss her plane. Mehran Modiri, Iran’s popular satirist, who also has a chilling cameo as a police hostage negotiator, proves here that he is just as at home with a nail-biting drama.

The film, which is in sharp monochrome, relates the story of a twenty-four-hour-long journey of two young Iranian soldiers (Issā and Emād) and a civilian driver (Amu Rahim) transporting thirty-eight Iraqi prisoners of war, taken from behind the Iraqi line, to a garrison inside Iran. From the details one is informed that the Iran–Iraq War has entered into its third year. The film masterfully depicts the deep inhumanity of acts of war amongst nations by showing the shared humanity of the combatants on both sides
