1980: Abadan, the oil metropolis of Iran, is facing an Iraqi siege. The young Omid stays with his grandfather after trying in vain to enlist as a soldier. On his wanderings through the city, he meets unusual characters who all have their reasons for staying in the city despite the threat of the Iraqi invasion. Among them is a famous diva and her daughter Pari, with whom Omid falls in love. As the situation worsens, he discovers and repairs an obsolete boat, a Lenj. Does this find offer Omid the chance to save himself and all the people he cares about?
