Plot

Sina Maleki has only a few months to pass the entrance exam. On the one hand, the shaky foundation of the family, and on the other hand, his acquaintance with a young man who loves music, creates adventures for him.

This gentle drama follows the story of Sina, a gifted young man with a passion for music. Under his father's authoritarian supervision, Sina juggles studying for university with taking care of his handicapped brother. Sina longs for more adventure from life, and gets exactly what he wished for when he is introduced to the smooth-talking M.J., and Sina agrees to sing with him at the studio. However, it soon becomes clear to Sina that there is more to his new friend than meets the eye. As Sina spends more time under M.J.'s influence, his relationship with his disapproving father deteriorates further. The relationship between fathers and sons is at the core of this film, and its combination of compelling drama and beautiful cinematography makes it a must-watch.
