A tale of a man from Teheran who travels in a Landrover to a remote village of Kurdistan with a crew in Tow. He tells the local inhabitants that he is there to do a survey, but as the film progresses, we understand that he is there for a completely different purpose: to record a specific event that may or may not occur.
