Overview

Seventeen-year-old Navid travels from his small village to a port city, looking a job as a teacher of Persian literature. He works odd jobs while waiting to hear back from the Education Center about a job. In the meantime, he falls in love with young girl, whom he believes he saw in a dream. After a series of events, including some jail time, he loses his teaching job to the girl. Defeated, he leaves town via a boat, where he meets another girl, whom he is convinced is the woman from his dreams.
