The actress Behnaz Jafari receives a message for help from a small Iranian village: Marziyeh, a teenager oppressed by her conservative family, can’t accomplish her yearning to study acting, so she decides to take her life. In the company of the director Jafar Panahi, Behnaz decides to take the road to discover what lies behind that call. The most recent work by Panahi, who is still victim of a decree from his country’s government that forbids him to make movies and go abroad, it represents a warm immersion in Iran’s periphery at the same time that it develops a reflection on the social oppression, the artistic activity, and the generosity of the modest inhabitants of this country.
