Through nine vignettes, this film examines the lives of ordinary people in Iran and how different social factors, such as religion and bureaucratic hierarchies, impact them. In each story—which varies in subject matter from job hunting to baby naming—the figure in power looms outside of the frame to reflect the oppressive power dynamic.
