 Mina (8 years old, originally from Iran) is living with her biological father (Babak) and his partner (Paul) in Berlin. During the course of a religious celebration only for women, Mina is being treated differently than the rest of the girls because of her family situation. Finding her fathers incapable of doing anything to change the unjust situation she stops talking in protest. Meanwhile Shahla who arranges the celebration, is having difficulties at home with her teenager daughter (Hoda) who shows little or no interest in Shahla s traditional values and way of thinking. The tension between Shahla and Hoda leads to Hoda s rebellion against her mother. Shahla finds herself soon captured in the past that she has been trying to escape from.
