Hiding her unorthodox measures from her colleagues and her husband, she goes about her life with no sense of remorse until she is asked to take care of a private patient, a brain-dead old man whose family awaits his eventual departure by his deathbed.
As Sara prepares herself for yet another quiet euthanasia, her patient begins to communicate with her in peculiar ways, filling her for the first time with serious doubt.

Despite having sparked a backlash from the Iranian authorities for his unwavering support of freedom of expression in cinema, Majid Barzegar has remained a major driving force behind the development and production of a great number of independent films in Iran.
