[1] The film stars Benjamin Radjaipour as Parvis, a confident but immature young man of Iranian descent living in Germany, who commits a minor criminal infraction and is sentenced to perform community service at a refugee detention centre, where he falls in love with newly immigrated Amon (Eidin Jalali).

He also takes part in the talks in which decisions are to be made about their further stay, and translates intentionally incorrectly in order to prevent their deportation.

Amon shares a room with his sister, who quickly notices that her brother likes Parvis and helps them get closer.

A project worker recommends a protective marriage to Banafshe because she is threatened with deportation and immediately offers to marry her.

On the day that Parvis works on the project for the last time, Banafshe is warned that the police are on their way to arrange for her deportation.
