Well-known actress Behnaz Jafari is distraught by a provincial girl’s video plea for help —forbidden by her family to not pursue her studies at the Tehran drama conservatory. Behnaz abandons her shooting and turns to filmmaker Jafar Panahi to help her solve the mystery of the young girl’s troubles. They travel by car to the rural northwest where they have amusing encounters with the charming folks of the girl’s mountain village. But the city visitors soon discover that the protection of age-old traditions is as generous as local hospitality. Winner of Best Screenplay Award at Cannes Film Festival.
