Synopsis
Djomeh is a young Afghan working on a small dairy farm in the remote Iranian countryside. With his heart set on a local young woman, Djomeh turns to his employer Mahmoud to act as a chaperone in his pursuit of marriage. A bold gesture that crosses all cultural boundaries and forces the two men to tenderly reflect on the difficulties of solitude and the universal need to be loved.
