Struggling with prenatal depression, Farshana gazes out the foggy car window and catches a glimpse of her husband Jalal entering a high-end apartment, suspecting him of infidelity. However, Jalal asserts that he was not in Tehran that day. Upon investigation, she discovers another couple who closely resemble them, as if they are each other's doppelgängers. Looking into the mirror, they see their shortcomings and their partner's flaws, transforming a simple encounter into a tangled four-sided relationship. Hidden in the dark shadows is Hitchcockian suspense, while permeating the pouring rain is Manny Makhmalbaf's profound insight into the contradictions of Iranian marriage, morality, and humanity; under a theocratic regime, must one split oneself or even self-destruct to allow the "I" to survive?
