A group of middle-class friends travel from Tehran to spend the weekend at the seaside. Sepideh invites Elly, who is her daughter's teacher, to travel with the three families in order to introduce her to their recently divorced friend Ahmad—now living in Germany. The next morning, the two women go shopping in the town and Elly says that she has to return to Tehran because her mother has been recently admitted to the hospital for heart surgery, but Sepideh insists she stay and hides her luggage. While the children are playing in the sea, one mother asks Elly to watch them. Suddenly, Sepideh's daughter calls on some men playing volleyball to rescue one of the children from the water. After rescuing the little boy, they seek out Elly, not knowing whether she has drowned or returned to Tehran.
