Jafar Panahi co-writes, directs and stars in this Iranian drama. While shooting her latest film, actress Behnaz Jafari receives a video of a young girl in distress, pleading for help and claiming her conservative family is preventing her from realising her dream of studying at a prestigious drama school in Tehran. Joined by Panahi, Jafari sets out to find the girl and travels to her remote mountain village but struggles to track her down and instead finds unhelpful locals unwilling to help her cause.
