They are both on the run: the man with the dog he is not allowed to own because the law deems it to be unclean, and the young woman who took part in an illicit party on the shores of the Caspian Sea. They barricade themselves in a secluded villa with curtained windows and eye each other suspiciously. Why has he shaved his head? How does she know he is being followed by the police? They are now prisoners in a house without a view in the midst of a hostile environment. The voices of police can be heard in the distance, but so too can the calming sound of the sea. Are we looking at outlaws, or are the man and the young woman merely phantoms, figments of the imagination of a filmmaker who is no longer allowed to work?

Jafar Panahi's second film made whilst under a ban from making films, and co-directed by Kambozia Partovi, is a demonstration of the indomitability of artistic endeavour and freedom wrapped in a mulit-layered form where illusion and reality change places with dizzying results.
