Premise
[edit]Ali Baharian (Mirsaeed Molavian), a teacher who goes by the artistic name Sohrab Baharian, studied playwriting and, after years of unemployment, has recently begun working as a literature teacher at a school. A strict and uncompromising educator, he expels five students from his class in just three days. As a result, the principal warns him that if he does not submit his academic credentials within two days, his job will be at risk. Reluctantly, Ali travels to his hometown of Tonekabon, the city where he pursued his studies, to meet with his university friends, including his former girlfriend, Maryam Seifi (Sara Bahrami), who, after a tragic accident, has lost her memory.
