In a sanctions-stricken Iran, a relentless mother embarks on a harrowing journey to Tehran, seeking Mepilex Dressings for her daughter's rare ailment, Epidermolysis bullosa. Aided by an empathetic and shrewd taxi driver well-versed in the city's clandestine trades, they navigate the perilous black market of Tehran.
