On the eve of separation from Arash and in doubt for staying or leaving Iran, Sogand is going to make her first film in a southern city. At the same time, a painting exhibition is being held in the complex where the film crew resides, and Ali, a staff of the exhibition, plans to steal a precious painting. In the pre-production process, Sogand chooses Zahra, a local young girl, instead of Negar, who was supposed to play the main role. Sogand starts rehearsing with Zahra, regardless of Arash’s strong opposition.
