Plot summary
Iran's death penalty runs through four separate episodes. Heshmat helps a neighbor rescue a cat, collects his wife Razieh and their daughter, visits his mother-in-law and prepares for a wedding before rising early to drive to work. Pouya, a conscript, is ordered to kill a man and has an hour to find a transfer through his brother's contacts, while his bunkmates argue about the duty and his girlfriend Tahmineh urges him on. Javad, near the end of his service, plans to propose to Nana at her birthday party and arrives to news that her family friend Keyvan, an activist, has died. Darya, a student, visits her aunt Zaman and uncle Bahram in the country, where Bahram avoids her questions about why he never followed her father Mansour into medicine.
