In the cold autumn of 2018, four years before the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement in Iran, the government unexpectedly raised fuel prices. Following the announcement, Iranian cities erupted in protests on November 16. The protests lasted less than a week: many were killed, many were imprisoned, and some simply disappeared.
The film follows a chance encounter between a man and a young woman traveling alone—a brief romance that lasts only a few days and leaves the man with nothing but ambiguity and sadness. The woman, a freelance photojournalist, disappears during the mass protests.
Four years later, the man’s old dog escapes from the house one morning. As he searches the streets for his dog, he finds himself drifting between the past and the present.
