At 70, retired nurse Mahin lives alone in Tehran; her husband is long dead, and her daughter and grandchildren reside abroad. She’s of a mind to do as she pleases: sleeping in ’til noon, gossiping bawdily with friends and defending a girl whom the morality police have accused of an improperly worn hijab. But she’s lonely, too – so she decides it’s time to find herself a new man.
That’s how Mahin ends up inviting Faramarz, an unmarried taxi driver her own age, to her home for an intimate night of orange-blossom sponge cake, illicit wine and company.
“As well as everything else, this wonderfully sweet and funny film will contribute to the debate about whether repressive regimes are the nursery of artistic greatness.” The Guardian
