Hamed hails from a well-off religious family, sharing a middle-class flat with Raman, who is set to emigrate in a few days. Raman is upset he can not spend his last days with friends because they don’t have an appropriate venue to gather. Hamed, determined to help, decides to throw a party in a vacant warehouse belonging to his family, but without alerting the other owners. However, he faces another dilemma: Their close friend, Tondar, recently passed away in an accident which they cannot talk about publicly.
