Synopsis

33-year old Ali lives in Tehran and works for a commercial company and is in charge of the cafeteria. With his 5-year-old son, Amir-Hossein, he lives in a small house in southern Tehran. The first thing one notices in their household, is the absence of a mother. Ali is very devoted to please his son and to satisfy Amir-Hossein’s love for cars. His plan is to buy the car of his friend Hamid, who owns a fairly decent but cheap one. After borrowing money from his friends, loaning money from the bank and throwing in all his saving, he has gathered enough to do the deal. But instead, massive inflation leads to a sharp rise in prices and therefore Hamid also reconsiders the price of the car. Ali is unable to do the deal and to satisfy his son. Deeply saddened, Ali struggles to keep the promise he has made…
