A heartfelt and quietly subversive tale of late-blooming love in the shadow of Iran’s repressive regime

70-year-old Mahin has been living alone in Tehran for decades since her husband died and her daughter left for Europe. One afternoon, tea with friends leads her to reassess her life and choices; she decides to break her solitary routine and revitalise her love life. On a chance outing, she comes across a lonely taxi driver called Esmail. As Mahin opens herself up to new romance, what begins as an unexpected encounter quickly evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening.
