An Iranian who grew up in a European country, after the death of his parents, goes to Iran, as it seems to him, to his homeland, but Iran turns out to be not the country he imagined, not the one his parents told him about. A collision with a harsh reality, a desire to return back – to the comfort zone – where everything is clear. he meets by chance with a prostitute – who – suddenly – helps him to see another homeland – tender and passionate.
