The film is about the inner suffering and conflictions of Yavar, father of a soldier, who can't give the news of his son's death in the war to his heart-sick wife.
In the film-play, events get tangled as a result of the lovers' miscommunication. Although the dramaturgical contradictions of the work are formed by various attitudes towards folk customs such as engagement and wedding, the play focuses on the contradictions of the characters, not the events.
