Baha, a young boy from a border town, finds out that his father, Bahram, has been released from prison after twenty years. Bahram killed his wife (Baha’s mother), accusing her of cheating on him. Baha, who has never coped with this and is still full of anger and resentment, decides to take to the road to bring his father back from prison himself. Bahram and Baha start the trip while neither of them can say their words. Baha’s doubts about taking revenge of his father do not leave him for a moment.
