Synopsis

Sima, tired of her marriage to Behzad, secretly searches for a new home for herself and her daughter Minoo. Meanwhile, Behzad tries to reconnect with an ex-girlfriend and searches for a rare owl outside Tehran. Minoo, on the other hand, begins a spontaneous flirtation with Keyvan, leading them to share their innermost thoughts. Over a week, the film captures a sociological snapshot of modern Tehran, depicting the end of a marriage from a disillusioned generation and the emergence of a young romance exploring the city and its political realities anew.
