Original language: Persian
Young swimmer, Omid (whose name means "Hope" in Persian), along with his mother, Leili, and uncle, Saadi, have each placed their individual fates on one vital upcoming swimming competition. In the days and hours before the meet, however, the consequences of failure become clear for each - all of which falls heavily on Omid's shoulders as a responsibility he refuses to bear. As their community jealously and steadily erodes the family's façade, layer by layer, to find whatever weakness they can, the family itself also begins to crumble like sand under the weight of the encroaching tide.
