Working as a singer at funerals is really not an attractive job. When Vahid is abandoned by his fiancée, he sings at weddings to increase his chances with women. Mina, a receptionist in a beauty clinic, has little selfconfidence because of her obesity, but she manages to catch a few men with her erotic telephone voice. And Hessam, former bodybuilder, now personal coach, even rejects a film role because he prefers to concentrate on the task of training a young athlete to become a champion. It's not easy to find love in the big city of Tehran, but the three midlife crisis heroes still go on looking for it.

Director's Biography:Director Ali Jaberansari was born in 1981 in Tehran. After studying computer science in Vancouver, he was accepted into the filmmaking programme at the London Film School, which he completed in 2011 with an award for directing and editing. He then founded a production company.
