On the crimson beaches of the hematite-rich island of Hormuz, 13-year-old Hendi is married off to 16-year-old Hormoz, who is jobless and lives in poverty like most of the island's inhabitants. When Hendi becomes pregnant, Hormoz turns to a drug smuggler in an effort to ensure his family's livelihood. Amini, who has debuted both of his films at the Berlin International Film Festival, tackles the topic of young adults in the Iranian lower classes dealing with existential crises.
