Nasser, who is responsible for censoring women in stadiums from football matches on Iranian television, has recently been unexpectedly appointed to manage a state-run television network. He is commissioned to execute the long-running plan cast by top executives to shut down the most popular television show and oust its beloved presenter. In his personal life, he is a submissive man, especially to his seventeen-year-old son. The situation goes so far that we see the humiliation of Nasser and his wife in various situations. They are unbelievably obedient to their son's irrational demands. The situation starts from a hilarious state and slowly reaches a critical and tragic stage. The crisis goes so far that his son asks him not to do what he was promoted to do; the son wants the TV presenter and his show to stay on air. Nasser, who we still dont know why was giving in to his son's insane demands, this time cannot surrender and falls into a dilemma: Obeying his son or eliminating him. Eventually he chooses filicide because otherwise the funny and bizarre sex tape shot by his crazy son will be released.
