‘Hattrick’ starts with Lida and her husband, Farzad, attending a party where they see their friend Keyvan and his new friend Raha.

On the way back home, the four in Farzad’s car have an accident but whether they have hit a person or an object raises a question mark.

The next setting is Raha’s home where she lives alone. The friends being in that house together is the beginning for many mysteries to come to light.

In addition to Ershadi, notable among the movie’s cast are Amir Jadidi, Parinaz Izadyar, Mahour Alvand, and Saber Abar.
