Everything changes when the family travels to Tehran to visit a couple weeks to relatives of "Moody" in the Iranian capital with the little girl Mahtob, who only has four years. However, what seemed a simple family trip to the roots of the parent culture becomes a trap for Betty and Mahtob, which will be held in the country and stigmatized by their Western origin.
