On a cold winter night in modern Tehran, a couple of young lovers run into a serious problem, and they have just a few hours to come up with a solution. They go from hospital to hospital in search for help, but none of the hospitals will admit the young woman to provide her with the medical attention she desperately requires. While they try to find a way to solve the problem, they have to hide what is happening from their parents. Moreover, their relationship is facing a crisis and will suffer dire consequences. Caught between conservative traditions and modern day desires - the couple must face their uncertain futures. Nominated for the Discovery Award for Best Film at the **Toronto International Film Festival.** Nominated for the Luigi De Laurentiis Award and the Venice Horizons Award for Best Film at the **Venice International Film Festival.** *"...an intimate, compelling look at a relationship in crisis coming up against the immovable wall that is Iran's religious bureaucracy." - Cary Darling, **Houston Chronicle***
