The film focuses on four characters who each symbolize different aspects of a dependent society. They hide in a villa in northern Iran, awaiting the outcome of the operation. After its failure, tensions rise, and one of the characters, representing the worldview of domination by global powers, kills the others. In the end, he is confronted by the youngest member of the group, who has uncovered his true nature. Though the young man kills him, he also dies in the process. The film delves into themes of betrayal, power struggles, and ideological conflict, using the failed operation as a metaphor for larger societal issues. Key actors include Ezzatolah Entezami, Davoud Rashidi, and Jamshid Mashayekhi . See less
