Mehdi is a revolutionary guardsman, but secretly he's gay. Marjan is a member of the fashion patrol, and she's secretly a lesbian. During a routine University Campus raid to quell anti Ahmadinejad protests one day, Mehdi happens to arrest the beautiful young Ramin. During the van ride back to headquarters for interrogation and possible lashings, Mehdi and Ramin strike up a deep friendship and Mehdi lets Ramin go.
