Plot[edit]
Arash is an Iranian scholar in Europe who is visiting his mother in Shiraz. He is also lecturing a course in sociology at the same time. His parents are divorced long time ago and he hasn't visited his father who is living in Tehran for a very long time, until suddenly his nephew visits him and informs him of his father's hospitalization in Tehran and persuades him to visit his father. At the same time due to some unexpected problems he cannot get his passport to leave the country on time. While Arash is going to Tehran is reviewing his memories of bad treatment with his father, and the way his mother and brother were also treated in the worse situation. He also remembers the memories of his brother who fled from home due his father's misbehavior. Later on his brother joined to the Iranian volunteer forces in Iran-Iraq war and soon after got killed in the war.
