Pari, Babak, Sara and Donya live in the Iranian capital Tehran. In order to earn a living for herself and her five-year-old son Pari works as a prostitute and sells her body to an influential judge, who supposedly helps her lead a better life. Her neighbour Sara, who ekes out an obedient existence as a housewife under her husband and his devout parents, also dreams of a better life, but would much rather go back to work. Young Donya faces a similar fate. In a few days she will get married. Nevertheless, she agrees to spend the night with the young musician Babak and afterwards demands that he pays for an operation to restore her virginity. But where should the poor student get the money from and how will the state control authorities deal with it? Four fates that are closely intertwined, four people who all suffer in their own way under the restrictive laws of the God’s state.
