Nader Parvar, played by Reza Attaran, is a divorced man fighting an addiction. He lives in Karaj with his daughter Darsa, while his former wife Maryam lives apart from them. After the death of their father, Ous Ahmad, Nader, his older brother Saber, his sister Behjat and her husband Tofigh fall out over how to divide what he left: the family home and the bakery. What follows is a string of schemes, quarrels and awkward reconciliations, told with Attaran's typical mix of everyday realism and deadpan humour.
