Amir and Narges are in love. That’s far from enough to build a life together, and they are forced to keep the relationship secret. To win over Narges’ upper-class family Amir needs money for an appropriate dowry. He finds work at a local fishery and is drawn into the dangerous but lucrative business of black market caviar smuggling. As Amir’s values are compromised, Narges tries to delay the arranged marriage her parents are planning for her. Tradition and true love clash in this tale of troubled love in contemporary Iran.
