Synopsis
The underground economy of a village along the Iranian coast becomes dangerous when human beings are added to the manifest. Motu is the leader of a gang of young people who make their money by smuggling illegal cargo. While their families often participate in the operation, Motu's father has faded out of the picture. He vanished while smuggling illegal aliens, and no one knows where he is or even if he is still alive. As the business grows increasingly risky, Motu struggles as he faces pressure from his wife and difficulty with his health.
