Mohammad Parvizi, the writer and director of this film, has written a short note as a summary of the story : I have not got rid of the people who have passed away from my life (until today). I can not leave them anywhere, because they come back in different forms and combine with the good moments of my life. This entanglement is sometimes shocking. Someone arrives and heads around the table, which should not be. I have been with them somewhere for hours or days. These are the times when my life turns upside down ... because where I am must either be dark or light ... I'm afraid to stay "under low light".
Haleh and her husband Amir are having to cope with a tough situation: their four-year-old son Ilya has suddenly stopped talking.
