Synopsis

Narges and Amir dream of building a life together, but when Amir loses his job, marriage becomes a distant prospect—the bride price Iranian traditions demand of him is too high. So, Amir sets out to work at a rural fishery by the Caspian Sea, where he becomes entangled in illegal caviar poaching.
