A contemplative, gently humorous portrait of cultural displacement and gradual transformation, where a city outsider learns humility and connection in a rural Kurdish village.

Irreverent city engineer Behzad comes to a rural Kurdish village in Iran to keep vigil for a dying relative. In the meanwhile the film follows his efforts to fit in with the local community and how he changes his own attitudes as a result.
