Narges and Amir dream of building a life together, but when Amir loses his job, marriage becomes a distant prospect—the bride price Iranian traditions demand of him is too high. So Amir sets out to work at a rural fishery by the Caspian Sea, where he becomes entangled in illegal caviar poaching.

Treacherous waters and murky skies set the scene in this wistful Iranian crime drama, awash with the threat of violence and ruin. Morality is thrown overboard in Behrooz Karamizade’s award-winning debut feature, a thrilling tale of desperate measures taken in the name of love.
