International Film Festival of India-Vision Asia Award, Busan International Film Festival 2025
A director is remaking a classic Iranian film in Tadjikistan. The studio armorer is worried that the gun they intend to use is not a prop gun, and fears the consequences. A young woman arrives at the location insisting that she be given an audition. At the same time, in another part of town, Sara, recently recovered from a car crash, suddenly realises that her accident was all part of a conspiracy. These people's destinies inevitably intertwine.
