Milad and Armin share a close, undefined intimacy shaped by years of emotional dependency. Over a weekend at a seaside villa on the Caspian Sea, a sudden revelation breaks their fragile balance: Bita tells Milad she is pregnant with his child. The next morning, the long-absent fathers unexpectedly return. Their presence reactivates unresolved tensions and pulls everyone into an unstable confrontation between two generations. Milad is faced with a decision that will define the course of his life. Staying means accepting early responsibility; leaving means repeating his father’s path. Armin, as he withdraws further into himself, gradually distances himself from the situation and quietly shifts its direction. As the weekend unfolds, the fragile boundaries between desire, responsibility, and freedom begin to collapse. Presented at the Berlin International Film Festival.
