At age 50, Parviz still lives off his father. The two men don’t get on very well. When the father decides to remarry, Parviz has to surrender his place to the step-mother and leave the house. Parviz finds it difficult to get used to this new solitary life far from his neighborhood and the people he knows. He thus concocts a novel way of fighting back against the injustice done to him.
