The fault lines in a marriage become evident when an out-of-town couple and their child arrive for a corporate trade show at a Tehran hotel. Accustomed to berating his pretty wife for her shy demeanor and her suburban manner, the husband is taken aback when she blooms under the attentions of a male colleague and is given a role in planning his company’s presentation.
