Synopsis
Middle-aged single mother Farideh works in a food processing plant and moonlights as a telemarketer to make ends meet. Her daughter Yalda is of a marriageable age but her shyness, delicate constitution and the brace on her leg complicate the possibility of meeting eligible young men. Her mother has enrolled Yalda in various improvement courses, but Yalda's intense timidity and physical impediments lead her to wander the city streets instead of attending classes. Her brother Ehsan finds himself stifled at his job in a local warehouse. He spends his free time writing poetry, reading film magazines and going to the movies. With no father in the household, Ehsan is the default male presence, a role for which he has little desire or aptitude. He mostly dreams of becoming an established writer and leaving his family obligations behind. But Ehsan's work colleague, Reza, proves to be of great interest to Yalda and her mother as a eligible bachelor, and Farideh suggests Ehsan invite him for dinner.
