Synopse
A tense, yet moving story from Iran about a society trying to survive the current political conditions. Rashid works as a prison warder and lives with his family on the outskirts of Tehran. One day they are told that their house is planned for demolition as part of a large redevelopment project. And if that wasn’t enough: Rashid makes a serious mistake at work and is suspended. At the same time he learns incidentally that his daughter is planning to emigrate so she can work as a model. He is determined to dissuade her and do everything he can to prevent her from leaving the house. Meanwhile, the bulldozers come ever closer.
